"I have consented to President's request, and am now selecting personnel of committee." WASHINGTON. (CNS)—President Hoover's disinclination to consider Negroes as a part of the Republican party was made more evident Friday with the announcement of the appointment of an all-white commission to investigate the Haitian situation, with Dr. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama. "cooperating" investigation of the education sysse of Haiti. Although President Hoover has at a time announced the names of five members of the commission given, all hope for political recognition of Negroes by the appointment of Negro member of this commission suggested by Representative Nation Fish, New York, the Parliament Association, and endorsed Nation and leading race orions, is gone. The committee will be filled by members of Congress who have not been selected at this time because the hesitancy on the part of some members of the Senate and the House gave on this commission. Motion not a Member The President's formal announcement makes it clear that Dr. Moton not a member of this commission but has been asked to conduct a "historical" investigation of the educational system in Haiti, only. He will not be a part, of the commission, he accepts the designation, and he have no part in the official investigation of the Haitian government and the determination of a future policy for the administration of the Republic under the treaty between Haiti and the United States. Borno's Advice In this it is believed that President Howe has acceded to the wish of Louis Borno, president of the Legendly mined Republican, who has signified a willingness that white men can compose the commission, while the supplemental "Jim Crow" commission of Negro investigators devotes attention to education, entirely independent of official investigation. Negro leaders throughout the country are bitter over this latest snub the administration and are undecided. Negro subterfuge will insults rather than ameliorate. They see in it an attempt to have Negro leaders tied to the situation in the event the exclusion white-washes the marine in Haiti. Many experts that D. Borno will be a party such a scheme.

BANNISTER, Manager LIBERIA NOT LIKE HAITI - DR. LYON African Republic Has Always Welcomed Negro Commissioners. BY ERNEST LYON, Liberian Consul General I would hesitate to give an expression of opinion as requested on Haiti's opposition to the appointment of any colored man upon President Hoover's commission to investigate conditions in the Caribbean Republic, were it not for the opportunity it gives me, to call the attention of your readers to Liberia's loyalty to race groups, wherever found and of whatever hue or color. The White House announcement was startling, to say the least, but not wholly surprising to those who have known Halit's sentiments concerning the b Engo's stigma on the affair of his government as well as his complete divorce from foreign relations and diplomatic counsels. Such an anomalous situa- nursery to those prising to those who have known Haiti's sentiments concerning the Negro's status in the affairs of his own government as well as his complete divorce from foreign relations and diplomatic counsels. Such anomalous situation for 15,000,000 American citizens, together with other soo and public denial of political rights and privileges including Haiti to the conclusion that the Negro is politically and diplomatically undesired for a place on the commission. In fact there is on the part of Haiti an avowed feeling of superiority. If we are correctly informed, there is not now and never has it been the case, nor otherwise of the Haitian legation in the Nation's capital with its colored population. No Preference Haiti expressed no preference for a colored population of the commission. If she had, then it would have been in harmony with proper decorum for the leaders to have urged his appointment. Those organizations which stained the commission for the appointment of one of their number on the commission should have shown equal energy in seeking the appointment and groves on some of the commission recently appointed by the White House. Noise If the question of color should have entered in the appointment of the Haitian commission, the White House should have discovered that being this might have been done if there were not so much noise made about it, and the White House having made it, it might have been considered undiplomatic for President Borno to have protested as bitterly as he is reported Will Colored Commission Provoke Borno? Now Haiti having tabooed the appointment of the Negro the worth of the White House, it not, be considered an unfriendly act on the part of the White House to force upon President Borno, in spite of his objection, a commission, if it can be so called, with a complaint. No such commission not seem out of harmony with good taste for any Negro to allow himself to be placed in a situation where he would be persona non grata at the Haitian court, no doubt, in the face of the respect of the group is at stake. We fail to see also, how the White House would make any appointment in the face of Haiti's protest. Now, Liberia, unlike Haiti, has been unquestionably loyal to the race group and to race interests. Notwithstanding foreign pressure, the capital represses pressure, she has received them with open arms. She has never been guilty of turning the cold shoulder upon any Negro appointment. The appointment of a Negro to the office of others at the request of President King, was receive without a murmur. The Negro press can burden more helpful and independent sovereignies by constructive, rather than destructive, criticisms. Personals MISS MARY DAY. of Clifton Forge, Va., spent the week-end here.

CURTIS ATTORNEY SEEKS NEW TRIAL CURTIS ATTORNEY SEEKS NEW TRIAL Verdict of $5,350 Awarded Tea Room Girl Termed Excessive. 8 REASONS CITED Argument Friday if Canfield is Ready. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Procedure toward an appeal in the Curtis-Fitzhugh case was begun last Thursday when Charles H. Houston, attorney for Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, filed a motion on behalf of his client to set aside the verdict of the jury and for a new trial. A similar motion was not filed in the case of Mr. Helen Gordon Curtis, wife of Dr. Curtis, which indicates that there will be no further action in her case and that the judgment against her will be paid. $5,350 Damages The jury on February 4 returned a verdict against Dr. Curtis and in favor of Miss Eva Fitzhugh, "the tea room girl," gibb 1816 S Street nw, for a misdemeanor alleged assaults on May 8 and one alleged assault on July 7, 1827. At the same time a verdict awarding Miss Fitzhugh damages of $350 and an additional $100 in his motion for a new trial, Mr. Houston assigns eight reasons why the verdict; against Dr. Curtis should be set aside and a new trial granted in its case. They are attributed by Mr. Houston tovolunteer, first of law in admission of evidence offered by plaintiff; second, error of law in the exclusion of evidence offered by defendant; third, the court erred by granting instructions asked by plaintiff; fourth, the court erred by refusing instructions asked by the defendant; fifth, the court erred in its general charge to the jury; sixth, the verdict is against the evidence and the plaintiff; seventh, other errors apparent of record; eighth, the verdict is excessive. Argument Friday If Austin F. Canfield, attorney for Miss Fitzhugh, is ready, the motion granting a new trial will be argued before Justice Frederick L. Siddons, whom the case was tried, next Friday. Particular emphasis, it is understood, will be placed upon one of the prayers of the plaintiff for instructional dons granted. It had to do with the question of threats and was to the effect that if the jury find as a matter of law by a preponderance of the evidence that the plaintiff must defend, then must the defendants or either of them, they must consider this evidence solely in mitigation of punitive damages which they might award the plaintiff and for no other reason. Warrant Issued At the trial there was testimony tending to show that Miss Fitzhugh had threatened Dr. Curtis. He had been charged on July 15, 1927, she was placed under a peace bond of $500 by Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police Court. Nurses Making Good in Boston Hospitals BOSTON Mass.-Misses Lettia M.

TOO MANY ALIENS WHO DON'T VOTE SAYS DEPRIEST Congressman Shakes Finger at West Indian in Boston. WIRE NOT HEEDED DePriest Warned Notto Speak in Dixie. By C. E. FREEMAN. JR. BOSTON. Mass.—Replying to a West Indian who asked to a West Indian who asked, Congressman Oscar DePriest (Rep., Ill.), shaking his finger at the questioner replied that he was opposed to it because such men as he, enjoyed all the privileges and shirked all the responsibilities of citizenship. The Illinois congressman delivered his address before 500 men and women at the Old South Meeting House Forum. The address was to have been delivered on the subject, "Does the Negro Need a Political disposed of by the congressman who said: "I have never believed in anything that tends to segregate the Negro to distrust him to the Negro party of his own would certainly be a jim-crow party. Every man should think for himself. "There are good and bad in each party. My advice is to vote for the man that has your interest at heart." One woman questioner wanted to know why it was that Hubert Delany was defeated in New York City for Congress. DePriest replied that it was because there were so many of "his kind in New York," shaking his finger again at the West Indian, who had asked that he about the incarceration. Asked if he should meet that job-crowd ever be abolished, Mr. DePriest said: "I do, because it is getting to be too expensive." Disregarded Wire Referring to a recent trip in the South, where he was scheduled to speak at several points, Mr. DEpriest said that while he was en route he received a telegram warning him not to come, but inasmuch as he had always been able to leave any place he was in, he previously spoken, he sent a wire saying that he would arrive on time. An afternoon paper, he said, had glaring headlines saying that he would speak on social equality, he would speak in mind, but before I finished my speech I thought it was best to mention it, so as not to make the paper out a liar, he added. "I said that I did not believe in social equality. The first Negro was bleached and today and can easily see who believes in social equality," he said. Not Same Blood Mr. DePriest declared also that he was glad he did not have the same clothes as he did because he would never have tilled the soil and cared for the rebel white women and children while they were fighting to keep the Negro in control. Mayor Congratulated Mr. DePriest congratulated the Dade City mayor of Boston as the Boca American. Under Mayor Curley a number of appointments for colored people have been made, including Julian D. Burke, secretary to the governor at $5,000 year; William L. Reid; $4,500, secretary to the governor's council; Charles W. M. Williams The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 15, 1930 PREDICTS DIXIE CONGRESSMEN IN CAPITAL 6,000 Hear DePriest and Two Former Representatives Speak. DINE AT CAPITOL Speaker's Private Dining Room Offered. WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Six thousand persons attended the Negro history week celebration in honor of Negro Congressmen, given at the Washington Auditorium Monday night. under the auspices of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, with Representative Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, and former Representatives Major John W. Lynch, of Mississippi, and Thomas E. Miller, of South Carolina, as guests of honor. Former Representative Henry Phummer Cheatham, of North Carolina, was unable to attend due to injury in an accident in recent automobile accident. His check for $70 was sent to the association. Preceding the public meeting at the auditorium the congressmen were the guests of honor at a dinner given at the Armstrong High School by the citizens committee. About 300 persons were present. Dinner at Capital Earlier in the day the two former representative DePriest in the speaker's private dining room at the Capitol. In addition to the guests of honor there were seated: Mrs. DePriest, Mr. and Mrs. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Dr. and Mrs. Charles I. West, Mr. and Mrs. Armond W. Scott, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, and Morris Lewis. The meeting was called to order by Sylvester L. McFaffrey, chairman of the committee sponsoring the celebration. The invocation was said by the Reverend Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, followed by the singing of "America." Dr. John R. Hawkins, president of the association for the Study of Negro Life and History, presided. He introduced Major John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, a member of the forty-fifth congresses, who is now 83 years old and a resident of Chicago. Predicts Several Congressmen The former Representative discussed the practical phases of his presidency, more than more Nassau, predicting that there would soon be several Negro members of Congress from Northern states. He said: "Fifteen years ago when I was called to the office, one of the changes of this city, I then made the prediction that I would live to see the day when a colored man would again occupy a seat in Congress. I will make another prediction that when there are several colored men in Congress, I will even venture another prediction—although I may not live to see it—that there will be colored men in Congress from below the Mason-Dixon line. I will be assured, he continued, "upon the evidence and belief that the white people of the country will throw aside the yoke that binds them to one party because of despicable race prejudice. Both parties will then seek the colored vote and it will be for the colored man to press forward." Voted For DePriest Oscar DePriest from the First District of Illinois where he is a voter. "When Mr. DePriest came to Congress he came not as a colored man, but as a white man, in color line in politics, but because a candidate is colored we don't want another to vote against him because of it." he continued. "We don't vote for a colored man because he is colored but because he is sound on the race problem. On the other hand we don't vote for a colored man because he is colored, but because we feel that the race is not colored and we don't let others vote against him for that reason." No Color Line "DePriest was chosen a representative of the regular Republican party. It was a question of party, and the right man." he said. Recalling the career of the man, Mr. McFadden, when last elected to Congress defeated one of the strongest colored men of the Chicago bar. Why? Because he was the right man and was sound on the ace card to trust him. He was the choice of an organization dominated by Oscar DePriest. My first advice is "Don't draw the color line in politics, and don't let it go out your way." Started With Taft Mr. Lynch scored the Republican party roundly for their position on the Negro question. He said: "I was with the beginning of President Taft's administration, took a retrograde position in regard to us. The policy inaugurated was to equivocate, to acquiesce in the nullification of the 15th amendment, to the elimination of men in politics of the country. This position has not been repudiated by subsequent administrations and it is not repudiated today." "The colored people of the country are placed in the position of being forced to choose the least of two evils," he continued. "Our own common sense will tell us to choose as the least of the two evils, the spirit or dereliction of duty on our behalf, we have more friends than enemies rather than the Democratic party where we have more enemies than friends. So if some of us want to punish the Republican party we can't do it without endorsing, approving, or denying the central of every one of our human rights and every wrong which we as a race have been forced to suffer. National Politics "While there are thousands and thousands of us who are Republicans, and we are compulsion, the Democratic party is such that we can't take chances by trusting to $3,700, clerk of Juvenile Court; C. Henry Robbins, $3,500, court stenographer; A. M. Gilbert, $3,500, court stenographer; James C. Gilbert, $3,500, assistant corporation counsel; John Schanks, $3,500, assistant U.S. attorney."

Being gradually eliminated as a factor in national politics, and that at present "the only states in the Union where they seek or care anything at all about the Negro vote is where they haven't strength enough to take it 15th Amendment He closed with the warning that "we must make paramount the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment. We may be divided on prohibition or any other problem but when we have to deal with the illification, we must forget our other convictions and stand on the question of human rights, manhood and suffrage, compared with which the world court, tariff and prohibition pale into insignificance."

DePriest on Amendment 25. Representation. DePriest deployed the appropriation by Congress of money for the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment without the appropriation of similar sums for the nineteenth and fifteenth amendments. "It is a great deal more important to spend money from the United States treasury to give citizens their rights to drink and tozens of drinks." he said. Believing that every citizen should be able to cast a ballot, Mr. DePriest expressed the hope that some day he would be able to suffrage in the District of Columbia. Referring to former Cadel Parham, he said that he hoped the young man would pass his re-examination test on March 23, to which he end has stated that he would go to Chicago on Thursday to certify two boys for Annapolis Naval Academy. He expressed great disappointment over the president's decision to to the Haitian commission for he said, "nobody could inspire confidence in those black people down there like an American Negro." The governor Ols B. Glenn, of Illinois, paid tribute to the progress and achievement of the race. He traced this progress from early slave days down to the present time of business and professional men, educators, editors, poets and musicians, lauding the conflicts of American history.

Byron received his appointment as clerk of a House committee, the only one granted in recent years, from the late Congressman Butler of Chicago, who held it until the advent of Congressman Britten of Chicago who demoted Byron to give one of Britten's relatives the place, although because of his death, the place was retained as an assistant clerk.

Lighten Your Skin With MARLE' (Pronounced Mar-lay) BLEACHING LOTION MARIE WALSH REBUKES HEFLIN AFTER COPELAND FAILS Alabama Senator Rants for Hour on Black-White Weddings. SLURS IN RECORD To Decide on Expurging Offensive Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Senator Royal Copeland (Dem.,N.Y.) couldn't halt Senator J. Thomas Heflin (Dem., Ala.), who ranted against the Roman Catholic Church and the intermarriage of whites and Negroes for an hour in the Senate, Friday. Heflin heckled Dr. Copeland as a "big, strong man able to sport a carnation every day," until the New York senator, peeved, declined to yield further. However, when Senator David L. Walsh, (Dem., Mass.), resenting the attack on the Catholic Church, issued a stinging rebuke to the Alabama senator, Heflin sat in his seat with nothing more to say. Formal Censure A still more formal censure of Heflin may follow a special committee investigation to determine whether the insertion in the Congressional Record of a letter Heflin wrote attacking the intermarriage of white and colored persons, violated Senate rules. In the letter, Heflin cited the recent marriage of Phil Edwards, New York University athlete, to a white girl. He charged that such marriages are encouraged by the "Roman Tammany regime i. New York." Divine Race Laws Heflin said that "the white race is the climax and crowning glory of God's creation. God intended that the red, the white, the yellow, and the black races should be preserved free from mixture with other races and "preserve race integrity and prove themselves true to the purpose that God had in mind for each of them when he brought them into being." "Scores of Negroes in Harlem, New York, members of the so-called Democratic Tammany organization, have been permitted to marry white women with licenses granted by and with the hearty approval of the state and city government, presided by Governor Smith and Jimmy Walker." Helfin said that the white parents of Phil Edward's bride appealed to the governor and mayor of New York to halt the marriage without avail. Hepping on the Catholic Church, Helfin said the Roman Catholic Church permits Negroes and whites to belong to the same Catholic churches, to go to the same Catholic schools and sanctions the marriage between Negroes and Negroes in the United States. Helfin termed it "an open and notorious social-equality policy." Helfin, who is seeking some reasonable explanation to the voters, vowed to have deserved the Smith hammer in the last presi- Henry Cheatham Once Beat Sen. Simmons for Congress dential election, declared that New York's social equality policies made it impossible for him to support Al Smith in the recent election. Catholics, he said, planned to make Smith the president of the United States. Smith also refused during the campaign to answer Heflin's question as to whether he believed in social equality. During the Threatened Senator Corydon's remark that the governor and the mayor could not interfere with the marriage of two persons who were of age drew the reply from Heflin that down in New York, the mayor would find a way to stop it, and if Copeland came South with his race equality ideas he would be lynched. Heflin said that the dance halls run in New York every night, where Negro men dance with white women, and white men dance with Negro women, provokes him. Want's Letter Expansion: Senator Salmon on having the Helm matter expunged from the record until a subsequent motion was offered placing the affair in the record. Before that time Senator Walsh who is a Catholic, said among other things: State or Church? "The issue must be raised here is one of sectionalism, an attempt to denounce and condemn the practice in all the states of the Union except colored boys and girls and men and women to worship God in Protestant as well as Catholic churches in com- "Are we to close the doors of the house of God to the few colored people who come into the North and the South and unable to support a church of their own? Must we inscribe in our church 'None but whites can pray to God here' or 'None but whites can pray to God here'? None but whites can receive inspiration to serve God here? Is that the conception of religious tolerance and Christian brotherhood that we are to preach and sanction in the United States? Banish Hate "Mr. President, may God banish hate and jealousy and envy and religious prejudice of the world." The sooner we forget sectionalism and religious prejudices and race hatred the better for our government and for the progress of our country. And religious intolerance are surely thereby laying up an evil heritage."

Simmons, white Democrat, North Carolina, who bolted the party in 1928, faces a stiff fight to retain his seat, recalls the fact that Henry Plummer Cheatham, former United States Representative, is the only man who ever had any success in heating Simmons. Cheatham, who will be feted with three other former colored Representatives in Washington during Negro History Week, took Simmons's seat in Congress away from him forty years ago by a stroke of genius. Simmons was so strong in his district, even with the Negro voters that seemed to be his strength. Through his influence in the Cleveland administration he had obtained appropriations for impressive public buildings in the Negro area. And, incidentally, years before when his father was killed by a Negro, bent evidently on robbery, Simmons saved the killer from a lynching mob. But Cheatham, ingenuously turned the Simmons influence in Washington to his own advantage. He went on to win the race for audiences in the dangers of having too powerful a Congressman in the capital. "How do you know he may not turn on you some day?" Cheatham solemnly asked. "How do you know he won't go to the White House some day and say, 'Grover, these Negroes are getting too uppy. I want you to put 'em back in slavery.' And he's so influential Grover would just sign an order putting you right back on the ground." So faced with this menace, the colored voters turned out en masse and elected Cheatham. Hoover Poses Again WASHINGTON. — President Hoover, who sometime ago declined to send a commission which he had appointed under an act of Congress to raise $500,000 for a memorial to Negroes in the South, and to send an egg white Western Union messenger boys at noon on Wednesday. The boys were from eastern states and were sent a special trip to Washington for meritorious service during the past year.

Congregationalists Vote No on Separate Meeting Places Fr. Slattery's Plea for Negro Priests Cost Him His Career Practically Driven from the Church Because He Declared that the Catholic Church Cannot Grow Without Negro Priests. Only "Old Pious Mamas" Deny this to Flatter their White Pastors. By GEORGE F. BRAGG The late Cardinal Gibbons ordained his second colored man, the late Father Dorsey, to the priesthood in the Cathedral, this city, on Saturday, June 21, 1902. On the next day, in St. Francis Church, Father Dorsey offered his first Mass; as which time, he joined St. Shlater, white, Superior of the Society of St. Joseph, was the preacher. The sermon was a strong plea for a Negro priesthood. It cost him his life, for he was practically driven from the church. After more than a quarter of a century, a few extracts from that remarkable discourse may prove illuminating; especially, as the same light for Negro priests in the Roman Church. He spoke of the African race in the church during the early centuries, enumerating as Africans, Origin, Tertullian, Cyprian, and Augustine. He then went on to say that in course of time positions were reversed, the Western races acquiring the mastery and the African en- "Today, after twenty-five years of labor for and among the colored people, I am absolutely convinced," he said, that the Catholic Church has been converting the Negroes of our. Southland unless she succeeded in getting a large body of colored people priests. Bear well in mind that the ministers of the church in converting this country is devoted to the emigrant whites of Europe. Leakage Among White Catholics. "Now, it is not exaggeration to say that they do not hold their own. The leakage among white Catholics during the Reformation has been enormous—million and millions have dropped away—in truth, among the great drawbacks to the conversion of the heathen is the neglect of native clergy. Again and again has Rome insisted on a native clergy in the East, thus far with little obedience and less success. Most of the missionaries from Europe have been sent into natives into the priesthood, but, as a rule, keep them in subordinate positions. Such was the case in Cuba till after its freedom, and is now in the hands of her fundamental system, goes the Catholic Church recognizes no race. But alas! the spirit of the political party intimidated to the Negro, to which for good or ill, the bulk of Catholics belong, dominates many Catholics. "Perhaps it is the wisest policy to admit frankly that because a man enters the sanctuary, or a woman the cloister, he or she is still human and not a slave, and because of his or her part of the country. No matter what Catholicism ought to d and may have done in the past, the fact is as clear as the noon-dawn that many Catholics are prejudiced against the Negro. It is this un-catholic sentiment which looks askance on Negro priests. Morality and Priests. "Now, the common objection to Negro priests is on the score of morality.

For ages, concubinage was rife among the clergy of Europe. But in those times there was no refusal of ordination. Mulatones, and such folk, were as necessary to take nowadays, viz: deny orders to the blacks because there is danger of some among them falling away—if that stand, I repeat, had been taken to the tenth, eleventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries. Catholicism would have been dead before Luther's time. Every Race at the Altar.

Congregationalists Agree Upon Hotels Which Will Accommodate All. NO SEPARATE ROOMS Delegates Expect to Eat and Sleep Together. CHICAGO — (ANP) — Standing squarely upon the principle of brotherhood, the Congregational Home Boards and the Commission on Missions at their mid-winter meeting at the Hotel Sherman, this city, voted unanimously not to hold the meetings in any place where there was any restriction or limitation upon the accommodations accorded any delegate. This was a long step forward from "equal" accommodations which may mean a separate dining room for the white and the colored delegates. Hotel keepers' associations in many places, including Chicago, have signed agreements not to accommodate Negro guests; the Hotel Sherman is one of the few hotels big enough for a large group, who will expect these accommodations. The recent meeting of the Federal Council of Churches' executive committee was held at a church, St. James M.E., in this city because those who were in attendance conspired of Christian democracy to meet in a place where all delegates could not be received on equal terms. Moreover, quite a few of the most influential delegates registered with the Negro Missionary Association, stopped with the colored hotels. The Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Foreign Missions Council, various groups of women's organizations, have all been putting up a determined effort to accommodate accommodations without restriction. The Negro delegates were: George E. Haynes, member of the Home Boards and the Commission of Missions; H. S. Barnwell, superintendent of the Missionary work; American Missionary Association; G. A. White of the American Missionary Association, and Rev. Harold M. Kinsley, director of Negro work in the North, Congregational church Extension Boards.

Bishop Thomas M. D. Ward BY J BARKSDALE The lake Bishop Thomas M. D. Ward was rugged as the oak: careless of habits — a mighty preacher, with a sense of humor, who that was staggering to the mind, a master in language, grandiose whose sermons were epics of loftiest composition. As a presiding officer disposed to be fair with every one. Jesus Was Colored, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the Seventh Episcopal District of the A.M.E. Zion Church, sends a paragraph on his new book by E. Stanley Jones white, missionary to India. We know two things about Dr Jones that have won our admiration in Africa, and missionary to Africa, but the great Methodist Episcopal Church sent him instead to India. Also we sat in the meeting to define a bishopic preferring to continue his missionary labors. From "The Christ of Every Road" By E. Stanley Jones The church is behind closed doors of race exclusiveness for fear of losing white prestige. Jesus Not White. A new kind of religion has been proclaimed, being white. Yet our own Master was probably not white. A friend made this statement in a public address and a lady came up at the close pale and trembling with emotion. Jesus not whisper her relation. I repeated this statement before a group of ministers, and a friend at the rear heard an excited and involuntary exclamation come from the lips of the priest. It is probably the truth. We liken Jesus to the modern Jew, who is white. But the modern Jew has been two thousand years or more under cover and has been bleached out. To that the farmer of the desert must be the modern Arab. The Arab is decidedly colored. The Roman office took Paul for an Egyptian (Acts 2136), and the Egyptian, ancient and modern, is colored. An am black. A daughter, by daughters Jerusalem," said an ancient Jewish biblical writer. Huntington, in "The Character of Races," says that the European and consequently American, are strainier than the Caucasian, the Mediterranean, and the Negroid. The cold winters have bleached out the Negroid color, but the curly hair of the Caucasian has faded the curly hair. (Let me re-read that sentence to say that my own mother had beautiful curly hair, and I'm proud of it!). Whether this statement of Huntington be true or not, we may also be reasonably sure that Jesus was not white. Yet many hold to what priests say, that the religion of being white. It certainly is not the religion of Jesus. The church has not fearlessly and uncompromisingly taken its stand against race snobbery. Un- world where the superstition of blood will surely fade and the fact of character takes its place. For the most part we are now behind the fear of the fate of white prestige and supremacy. As we are behind the closed doors of race exclusiveness so we are behind closed doors of national isolation for fear of being called unpatriotic. Dr. Brangg Lectures Rev. Dr. George F.

Monday. board of committee The committee includes the Revs. C. H. Stecau, J. W. Hunter, J. E. Lee and George Biddle. Took Members It was declared that several churches felt the effects of the concert Sunday evening, when their attendances fell off noticeably. The school board will be asked to select a week day for future concerts. Street Car Service This same committee will take up with the United Railways the schedule for their concerts, the schedules. It was stated that the present arrangements on the Fremont Avenue line, especially, prevented workers from reaching their destination and was as well as made churchgoers late. The specific complaint is that the slowness of the schedule makes it necessary for churchgoers to start earlier to their own churches in distant parts of the city. Pastors of churches declare that some of their members are attending churches earlier rather than up earlier to be in time for their own churches. Eulogize Late Bishops With the reading of two papers by Dr. Charles H. Wesley and the Rev. J. E. Lee, the body celebrated the birthdays of the late Bishop James Hobertter and Daniel Alexander Payne. Tracing the life and works of the late Bishop Shorter, Dr. Wesley declared that he was born in Wash- ington in February 6 or 14, 1817. He died in 1837. Starting life as a barber in Philadelphia, he received the education obtained by youth of that time. His ministerial career began in 1846 when he was ordained as a pastor in Baltimore Annual Conference. Two years later he was made a deacon and in 1859 became an elder. After serving various charges he was elevated to the priesthood in 1868 and served until his death. Daniel Alexander Payne In his paper, the Rev. Mr. Lee stated that the late Bishop Payne was born in South Carolina February 19, 1829, and attended school in Gettysburg, he taught in Charleston, S.C., until 1829. From there he went to Philadelphia, where he attended Philadelphia Conference, and ten years later he was elected the sixth bishop of the A.M.E. church. During his time he ministered in ministerial education, introducing a resolution in the general conference to require ministers to pass educational tests. He served some of the oldest largest churches in the region. To Observe Pentecost The nineteenth hundredth anniversary of Pentecost will be observed in the church on March 17th.

WALK-OUT THREATENS N.Y. FEDERAL COUNCIL Suggestion of Segregation Arouses Ire of Ministers' Gathering. Secretary Declares His Lan- guage was Misunderstood NEW YORK, (ANP).—Eighty ministers, members of the Interdenominational Preachers' Alliance, met Monday and repudiated that section of a survey of Harlem Churches, made by George Hobart, white, director of the research department of the New York Federal Churches, which they thought contained an implied suggestion of segregation for Negro churches. The passage objected to in the report reads: "It is of great importance to the churches to know where Negro migration is developed in which churches have been almost put out of business by these sudden movements of Negroes. If the Negro will stay in one place, then the church knows its future problems, but when he moves churches in these localities is uncertain. The reason for the survey is to assist in dealing with the problems of these churches and to determine the need for new churches the removal of unnecessary ones." The colored ministers in their resolution expressed surprise that such a statement could have escaped the attention of the Christian brothers, and they put themselves on record as refusing to co-operate with the federation. When Mr. Hobart was informed of the action of the ministers, he said that he regretted that the words had been misconstrued and that steps were being taken to guarantee not the intended meaning of the words used in the report. Watt Terry, layman, who has worked with the federation, and the minister of the Christian Baptist minister, felt that the passage had been misunderstood.

Hagin of Phi Beta Kappa of the Board of Negro Work of the Board of Hon Missions and Church of the Methodist Episcopal Church, dressing the Council of Citizens spored here by the Department City Work, February 11 to 13. Dr. Hughes, speaking at the morning session, said: "The American Negro is politically the largest and the greatest contributor to American ideals, culture and stability." Continuing, Dr. Hughes said: "The Negro will not be saddened and finding superior advantages one hand and remain loyal to be religious organizations on the other. It is expected that this man in a economic society and economic environment and religious organization which is the Negro church must become dynamic, not only in the life of the individual but in the entire community. The Negro has passed through two hundred and fifty years of exploitation. Not Palmerian. For sixty years benevolent philanthropic agencies have at the Negro and the inevitable paralysis has been developed. Dr. Hughes explained, adding that the time has arrived when paternalism is the way to participation—doing for him, but doing together with him. The fact that more than four as one-half millions of the ten million Negroes in America are definite constituents establishes the church as the main avenue of approach to the mass of the people, the speaker maintained "Christianity Has a Chance" "This at once gives Christianity its power before in the history of the world has Christianity had so favored an opportunity to demonstrate its power as a solvent of this vexation in the right now as here in Christian America." D. Hughes concludes. Bishops Attend The conference was opened on February 11, by Bishop E. G. Richardson, of Philadelphia. Some sermons were delivered by Bishop Herbert Weltch.

Underhill, missories recently sent from Philadelphia to the Presbyterian mission in West Africa, that that they are interested in the fact that they are colored. One chief called a greeting from his garden on seeing them pass through his village: "Mess. he said, 'they tell me you are black people, but you can't look like it. Are you really?' 'Yes, indeed.' Dr. Underhill answered. Well, then," continued the chief eager to hear more, "what tribe are you? Dr. Underhill said he did not know, so far as human tribes are concerned. "Did the chief explain 'did they write your tribe own in a book'? He was much perturbed even after Dr. Underhill explained it was many generations that the slaves and their ancestors were purposely associated as to tribes, and even families so that the children did not know their original family or tribe.

OCCULT BOOKS GET OUR NEW LITERATURE SHORE PASTORS WANT LONG CURB ON UNDERWORLD ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—The Northside Interdenominational Ministers Union, in session at Shiloh Baptist' Church, last week, passed a resolution urging that vice joints recently closed by police, be kept closed permanently. A series of articles in a New York newspaper continuing for nearly a month, not only exposed vice, liquor and number resorts, in the town, but cleared up mysterious murders and involved prominent politicians as members of the city's vice ring. The ministers' resolution declared in part: "The members of this organization are not politicians, but we propose to use our vote and urge our congregations to use our services to place men who will make an honest and to keep the city clean and necessary sections in which our people live shall be kept free from the places about which we have so often protested without relief."

Washington Irving Hi Sends Pupils Up to Harlem "No Room." Colored Children are Told by New York School Officials. Wadleigh Hi Advises Pupils Not to Take Academic Course. Colored Students at Normal School. By L. F. COLES NEW YORK. — Washington Irving High School is located at 14th Street and Gramery Place. Colored children who are in the neighborhood of this school are told when they come to register that there is no room and that they had better go up in Harlem to Wadleigh High School on 115th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, where they will not be lonesome. Three or four colored girls have been persistent in their efforts and are in the Irving High School but they assured me that the teachers go out of the way to be unkind to them in every way possible. Wadleigh High School Wadleigh High School, 115th street between f18 and 8th Avenues, advises colored pupils not to take up the floor and not to occupy after all they are not likely to go to college and if they do they will find it extremely hard. Some teachers of this school are exceptionally discourete. They then said to the students that they should report the action of some of these teachers and principal to the National Association for Advancement of Colored People and the school that it would not do any good and said that after all, these organizations were not interested in these matters, for if they were, they would come around and visit the school. I assured them that this was the wrong attitude to take, for these organizations could only know about them, and then they were informed by the person who are connected with the school. Public School 81 Pubic School No. 81, located at 212 West 120th Street, formerly New York Teachers' Training School, does not have a single colorist teacher and does not have a colorist attitude against the thought of having colored teachers in that school. Voice Too Heavy? Teachers' Training School is located at Convent Avenue and 153th Street. The blocks are long there and probably the school runs to 137th Street, as this is a wide part of the city. This is the school where teachers are trained. Two sisters applied there to enter as teachers; one was told that her voice was too heavy, the other was told that hers was too light, consequence they could not be trained as teachers. A number of persons who have made application to enter the school for teachers and it difficult to do so. I am urging you to do so. The purpose of these organizations is to help people who are faced with these conditions. Cornoreal Punishment Public School No. 68, located at 116 West 128th Street, is where most of the children go to the lower grades and kindergarten. Theachment was much in evidence in this school. The teachers do not mind boxing colored children's cars and pulling their ears and shaking them as though they were rag Lack Supplies Public School No. 136, on Edgecombe Avenue between 135th and 136th Street, is a school where the pupils continually complain about supplies not being sufficient pencils and other things necessary to carry on their work. Many of them complain that they cannot get the necessary books and they do get them, they cannot not perk them up many instances to take them home. Vocational School On 1938 Street, between Fifth and Lenox Avenues, is a vocational school for boys. Most colored boys complain that they do not trade and to participate freely in many of the activities of the school. The teachers are not so rude, however, as in other schools. They give the guys to fight back. This school, like the rest of them, complain about supplies. There seems to be a chronic complaint about plays in all of the schools I have No Colored Principal Public School No. 139 is a school for boys, on 140th Street between Lenox and Jackson, and is quite in this school but they complain about supplies and there are not many school teachers. In fact 65 to 95 per cent of the pupils colored but haven't colored teachers in the same proper schools themed in colored teachers at and none of them have colored principals or assistants. White Plains Y.M.C.A. Up in White Plains, NY, for the last year or two there has been a drive carried on, both white and colored people to raise money for the building has been completed and is located on Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains.

He played for both girls and colored them together. The rest of the colored members are left to go to a dingy building in an artist.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906) A little two by four reporter of the Baltimore American endeavored to criticize Bishop Henry McNeal Turner and his lecture in a report for his newspaper, last week. We were more than that Bishop Turner has forgotten more than this little sap-head reporter ever will know. The egotism of white folk makes us real tired. Jim-Crow Commission President Hoover announced last week the personnel of an all-white commission to make an exhaustive study of those conditions which are alleged to have made necessary U.S. militarization of the Negro republic of Haiti under Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and now under his own administration. Apologizing for not accepting the recommendation of leaders of both races and naming a colored member on the commission, Mr. Hoover said that President Borno of Haiti was opposed to it. At the same time, however, Mr. Hoover announced that an independent all-Negro commission would be named under Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, to study the educational system of Haiti with a view to recommendations for the future. Strange logic is this that sees the need of a separate commission to study schools apart from other phases of our administrative activities in Haiti. President Hoover announced last week the personnel of an all-white commission to make an exhaustive study of those conditions which are alleged to have made necessary U.S. military occupation of the Negro republic of Haiti under Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and now under his own administration. Apologizing for not accepting the recommendation of leaders of both races and naming a colored member on the commission, Mr. Hoover said that President Borno of Haiti was opposed to it. At the same time, however, Mr. Hoover announced that an independent all-Negro commission would be named under Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, to study the educational system of Haiti with a view to recommendations for the future. Strange logic is this that sees the need of a separate commission to study schools apart from other phases of our administrative activities in Haiti. Stranger still is the logic which excludes Haitian from one commission to please the Haitian president and includes them on another to displease him. Mr. Hoover quotes President Borno as "observing a lack of sympathy" on the part of Negro Americans and could not therefore welcome a commission of white and colored persons if one were named and yet he names an all-colored commission to study Haitian schools. Mr. Hoover quotes President Borno as "observing a lack of sympathy" on the part of Negro Americans and could not therefore welcome a commission of white and colored persons if one were named and yet he names an all-colored commission to study Haitian schools. If he intended to disregard the wishes of President Borno at all, it seems to us that he should have the covage to name a single mixed commission as the he had requested by American leaders. The Jim crow educational evidence is to sop to Dixie and a further evidence of the anti-Negro policy of the Hoover administration which has characterized it from the beginning. Nearly two years in office, Mr. Hoover has not made a single major presidential appointment, nor a gesture of friendliness and sympathy towards the million or more Negroes who helped vote him into office. To the contrary, in Florida, in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana, he has done his best to detrone Negro politicians and supplant them with ill-whites. It is true that American Negroes are not sympathetically inclined toward President Borno. Public sentiment in the U.S., black and white, favors the Haitian people against their present ruler kept in office by American marines, illegally and against their will. No thoughtful American Negro apologizes for that. We realize that when the U.S. marines leave Haiti, Mr. Borno must leave. His life will not be safe in his own country. Mr. Borno is a pawn and a "yes" man of the U.S. military corps. He has been from the beginning. His resiliency in the hands of our State Department and military occupation leads us to believe that his alleged objection to Negro membership on the commission is a smoke screen thrown up by the State Department to motivate its own program. Having failed to consult President Borno as to whether we should occupy Haiti with marines, control its customs, seize its sugar and coffee lands, build its roads, man its schools, and disburse its funds, it appears downright disbelieving for even the United States to assert that Haiti has been consulted as to the personnel of an American commission. If he intended to disregard the wishes of President Borno at all, it seems to us that he should have had the courage to name a single mixed commission as he had been requested by American leaders. The Jim crow educational appendage is a sop to Dixie and a further evidence of the anti-Negro policy of the Hoover administration which has characterized it from the beginning. Nearly two years in office, Mr. Hoover has not made a single major presidential appointment, nor the feature of friendliness and sympathy towards the million or more Negroes who helped vote him into office. To the contrary, in Florida, in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana, he has done his best to dethrone Negro politicians and supplant them with lily-whitees. It is true that American Negroes are not sympathetically inclined toward President Borno. Public sentiment in the U.S. black and white, favors the Haitian people against their present ruler kept in office by American marines, illegally and against their will. No thoughtful American Negro apologizes to what the U.S. marines leave Haiti. Mr. Borno must leave. His life will not be safe in his own country. Mr. Borno is a pawn and a "yes" man of the U.S. military forces. He has been from the beginning. His resiliency in the hands of our State Department and military occupation leads us to believe that his alleged overreach of membership on the commission is a smoke screen that may imply the State Department to motivate its own program. Having failed to consult President Borno as to whether we should occupy Haiti with marines, control its customs, seize its sugar and coffee lands, build its roads, man its schools, and disband the military, we are building for even the President of the United States to assert that Haiti has been consulted as to the personnel of an American commission. Ten Years Closed Ten Years Closed The House Immigration Committee considered last week the bill of Representative Johnson (Wash. Rep.) "limiting the immigration of aliens to the United States" and placing foreign countries in North and South America on the quota basis. Countries in the Eastern hemisphere have been the quota basis for several years, under which condition the influx of foreigners to this country has been reduced by law from one million a year in 1913 and 1914 to 151,000 in 1929. No restrictions, however, hamper the influx of foreigners who reside in the Western hemisphere, with the result that as immigration decreased from Europe, it increased from Canada and Central and South America. Over 120,000 such persons came in last year. Thousands of others were illegally smuggled over the borders. Representative Johnson would stop up the hole, by limiting the number of citizens of these countries which may come to the United States. At first glance, it may not seem that this question has anything to do with the ordinary workingman in Baltimore, Washington, or Richmond, but Mr. Francis L. Jones, white, director of the Federal Employment Service, who knows that this country has five million men out of work, testified before the committee last week and suggested that the unemployment in the U.S. made him want to help them, he said that it would be possible to work Negro labor from New York to California to work on farms which are now importing labor from Mexico. At first glance, it may not seem that this question has anything to do with the ordinary workingman in Baltimore, Washington, or Richmond, but Mr. Francis L. Jones, white, director of the Federal Employment Service, who knows that this country has five million men out of work, testified that the committee had week and胶答 that it desirable to limit the influx of foreign labor, and he said that it would be possible to send Negro labor from New York to California to work on farms which are now importing labor from Mexico. In other words, towns in North Carolina, instead of making appropriations to care for unemployed, should be able to recruit workers for another section of the nation which has a shortage. Representative Oscar DePriest (Rep. III.) who attended the committee hearings, backed the Johnson bill and called attention to the fact that foreigners are coming in from neighboring countries in such numbers that wages for common labor in the West have dropped to 20 cents and 10 cents, a subject to the military draft law are at work, while Americans walk the streets looking for jobs. Mr. DePriest would tax every alien who has not declared his intention to become a citizen within a designated period and he would place a ban upon all foreign immigration for ten years or until there is no longer wide-spread unemployment. Justice is right. Unemployment and poverty are as great a menace as war. California can afford to share its prosperity with other states because citizens of California and all other states should be willing to face the media. lems of peace as they face the problems of war, together. The AFRO-AMERICAN CAN says with Mr. DePriest: "Let the immigration doors be closed." It urges its readers, in whatever state they may be, to inform their members in the Congress, that the best interests of all citizens will be served if alien workers are banned for ten years. Howard's Explanation The Negro receives so many insults and affronts from other peoples which he cannot avoid, that receiving them from his own is always viewed as an affront of double strength. The University's explanation of the barring of colored reporters from the conference with General Jan (Jackass) Smuts was sent to the press this week. The Negro receives so many insults and affronts from other peoples which he cannot avoid, that receiving them from his own is always viewed as an affront of double strength. Howard University's explanation of the bansing of colored reporters from the conference with General J. Jackass) Sinnus was sent to the press this week. Other things it recites: "It was understood that no publicity was to be given to the conference except that which was to be sent out by the Phelps-Stokes Fund. For that reason no invitations, confidential or otherwise, were sent to the press. Even the publicity matters were not invited. The (white) reporters who accompanied General Smuts were admitted only as a courtesy to the visitor." This explanation asserts the right of Howard University, a semi-public institution supported out of national taxes, to entertain an international citizen who has startled the international with a subversive doctrine that Negroes are like jackasses, invite refugees from all over the country to be present, and then hold the entire behind closed doors. This explanation asserts the right of Howard University, a semi-public institution supported out of national taxes, to entertain an international citizen who has startled the country with a subversive doctrine that Negroes have jackasses to present from all over the country to be present, and then hold the meeting behind closed doors. Views and opinions are to be given affecting the race relations of two continents IN A CORNER. The AFRO-AMERICAN admits the right, but challenges the wisdom of any such cubby hole deliberations. If white reporters accompanying General Smuts were admitted, all reporters should have been admitted. Howard can't afford a jim crow spirit. At the great conventions of the country the Negro press has a continuous struggle to place its reporters on the inside. For over a year Mr. Hoover apprehended he barred Negro from the White House.

At the great conventions of the country the Negro press has a continuous struggle to place its reporters on the inside. For over a year Mr. Hoover's representatives have barred Negro newsmen from the White House. Evidently the President thinks the Negro needs only to get his news second-hand, and President Mordecai Johnson of Howard University apparently agrees with him.

Jones to West Point to investigate the allegations made concerning conditions there both with a guard card and with the alleged disinformation in the accommodations given to Negro non-commissioned officers. It is an easy for us to assume the attitude that all unpleasant conditions constitute unfairness and acts of aggression that we both should assume that all unpleasantness where the two races are concerned, is the result of "bumptiousness" on our part. There is little to choose between these undesirable attitudes. A distinguished author and artist, once rebuked a friend who was interested in converting him to his views on a certain subject, by reminding him that the only thing that they should take precedence, but that, both persons should go along together and seek to arrive at the truth. The AFRO has evidently sought to do just this, and we venture these few words of commendation, but that only by such impartial procedure will we merit the respect and cooperation of those members of the white group who are sincerely desirous of helping us to secure justice; and keep our trust in giving to others the justice that we seek.

VICTOR H. DANIEL Principal, Cardinal Gibbons Institute Rd. Md. Why Do Some Men Fall to Resent Insults Offered Our Women? To the Editor: I wrote a few lines to you concerning an incident which occurred at the W.B.A. station on February 2. I was at the station seeing my son off to Washington on the nine o'clock train. After the train stopped, I saw the stairs at the Lombard Street entrance, when four white men entered the station through that same entrance. Three of the men were uniformed and the individual had been drinking a great deal and he approached me and yelled in my face, "Hello Baby." He moved to the other side of me when I ignored his conduct. He stood there fully five minutes staring at me and asked, "Who is the boy in the room?" Then, turning to a colored man who had seen and heard the entire performance, he asked the man had seen and heard the performance, and did not attention, and couldn't say. Yet he had seen and heard everything. There was no officer in sight and no one to whom I could make any complaint. Yet had that man admitted the insult, the insult was able to do something. I wish to write a few lines to you concerning an incident which occurred at the W.B.A. & A. station on February 2. I went to the station seeing my son off to Washington on the nine o'clock train. After the train had left I stood for a moment at the head of the stairs at the Lombard Street entrance, when four white men came up to me. Three of the men wore uniforms and the fourth civilian clothes. This latter individual had been drinking a great deal and he approached me and yelled in my face, "Hello Baby." He moved to the door and sat down. The door stood there fully five minutes staring at me most insultingly. I told him to move; on and he yelled again, "Who the hell is bothering you?" Then, turning to a colored man who asked if he had seen him annoy me. This man declared he had "paid no attention" and couldn't say. Yet he had seen and heard everything. Then he asked if he could make any complaint. Yet that man admitted that he had witnessed the insult. I may have been able to dc something. Why don't our men ever resent us to from the other men?

Perpetual Job Hunters Hamper Progress of Eks, Says Ohio State Association President. To the Editor: We have passed since our Atlantic City meeting. What have the official heads of our great order been able to accomplish? What can they accomplish when their best energies are combined with the overwhelming attacks of others who seek their places? Do we realize that we are retiring our program of work when we begin immediately at the job of a pathy to job-seekers? Perpetual 'candidates' seldom have the vision and constructive leadership necessary to get work done. Usually with an eye on the salary attached, they over-estimate the value of their work. Now, in the name of fair play and justice, I say urge all men who expect to attend the grand lodge in Detroit in August, to go there with one another, and to work as a working and making history for our order and race, remain in office, unmolested, until such time as they have put their program over and are on a sound footing.

Every now and then there is an outburst in the race press because some white publication uses the word "Negress." (Even with a capital "N" it is not acceptable.)

We are not surprised at what Mr. Hedges thinks of the average Negro, for we know that there are thousands of average persons who would go into the office of any Negro enterprise and expect to find Amos 'n Andy; to any Negro church and see and hear "Hallelujah"; to any section of a city inhabited by colored people and expect to find the "Two Black Crowns"; in every enterprise or to any Negro home and see Roy Cohen's short stories in action.

Speaking of Amos 'n Andy, "So fair" says Mr. Hedges, "of them in their deplurient fear of Southern Negroes in Northern cities that, not only have they brought amusement to millions of whites, but they have brought amusements and are especially orites among colored people in the audience. In fact, they has never been a proponent regarding the broadcast." I wonder do we really care? Mr. Gosden, Mr. Correll, and others have a come-back when they remind us of our own people who carry such acts upon the stages and even a little bit of free clowning by bell boys, porters and waiters for their white spectators. Not so very long ago, I said to an old white man, who had used the word "nigger" too frequently for my comments, my paroison,—I must come to you. "Why," he said, "I don't think you would object to that when I hear the word so much among your own people." I wonder do we really care? Mr. Gosden, Mr. Correll, and others have a come-back when they remind us of our own people who carry such acts upon the stages and even a title bit of fame crowding by their porters and waiters, for their white spectators. For a very long ago, I said to an old white man, who had used the word "nigger" too frequently for my comfort, "I beg your paroons—I must correct you. "Why," he said, didn't think you would object to that when I hear the word so much among your own people. As a matter of fact, when we are thrilled at seeing "Hallelujh!" when we buy all the records of the "Two Black Crows," because "they are so funny," and are particularly impressed with Joy, we are in the Earned Post, and enjoy hearing Amos 'n Andy tell us how ignorant we are, we are not only "patient as a jackass," but just about as sensible.

The really finds amusement in ignorance, he could go to any Southern town, or Northern one for that matter, and find among the unfortunate whites plenty of humor. But ignorance is that thinking person would dare play fun at the darker side of life of his people? There is one big reason why we should protest. It is that we are ridiculous portrayal of Negro life. The average white person does not know as much about our finer qualities as we think he does, and the logical conclusion is that he is more likely to judge the whole group by his own standards, which is forced to believe because of his lack of knowledge of our achievements. If one really finds amusement in ignorance, he could go to any Southern town, or Northern one for that matter, and find among the ultimate whites plenty of men. But as fast as the person would dare poke fun at the darker side of life of his people? There is one big reason why we should protest Amos and Andy, and all other ridiculous portrayals of the same life. The average white person does not know as much about our finer qualities as we think he does, and the logical conclusion is that he is more likely to judge the whole group by what comes to him if he is not a amusement, which is the only one to achieve because of his lack of knowledge of our achievements. For instance, a trading business man of Washington did not know that Dr. Emmett J. Scott was colored; another did not know that Howard University had a colored president, a leader of the United States. He never heard of Howard at all. He thought that Lincoln was the only Negro university in the country. A white girl engaged in social work in a small western town, had never heard of a colored physician, in fact, she had never thought about the number of the staff of the Coor County (Illinois) Hospital had never heard of an exclusively Negro medical school. These are a few of many examples that illustrate the white man's lack of knowledge of our better services.

"Was Jackass Smuts Right? 'If Homo Aframericanus isn't Closely Related to the Ass Family, What is He Related to?' To the Editor: For the past three or four weeks, writers, speakers and leaders of all kinds have been browning at the mouth because General Jan Christian Smuts declared that the exploited and downrotten African wage slave was almost as docile as the first to take the good general to task was "Major" Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute; he was followed by a horse of other indigent Senegambian wortles, confess that confirmed cynicism, close to the Negro in his little incensed by the remark of the celebrated Boer soldier-statesman. But after giving the matter a little thought, I am compelled to accept the Smutty statement in part, i.e. while I deny that he was a cynic, I am rather inclined to believe that his brother in America does not fall far short of that classification. To the Editor: For the past three or four weeks, writers, speakers and leaders of all kinds have been frothing at the mouth because General Jan Christian Smuts declared that the exploited and downtrodden African wage slave was almost as docile as an ass. The first to take the good general to task was "Major Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute; he was followed by a hoir of other indigantean Senegambian worths. I confess that even confirmed cynic and close observer of the Negro that I am, was found to be by the remark of the two Boer soldier-statesman. But after giving the matter a little thought, I am compelled to accept the Smutty statement in part, i.e., while I deny that the African Negro is as docile as an ass. I am rather inclined to believe that the other in America does not fall far from, of that classification. Consider, for a moment, the nature of the ass. He is patient and uncomplaining and only lashes out with his little rear hoofs when severely beaten or kicked by his driver. It never seems to occur to him that he thought do something like the importance of the balance of the work. He just launches out with his hoofs at his tormentor and when that worthy has jumped back out of reach he settles back into his docile state until the next beating occurs. He uncomplainingly bears the carrier's hoofs, and uses little thought of the narrow or the mistreatment it may bring forth. As I said, we must disagree with the General if he is referring only to tc African Negroes, because we know well that the dark folks of the Dark Continent are a savage people who have been organized before. They have organized the largest. Negro labor union in the world for the purpose of attaining and maintaining a high standard of living. They have assembled and protested even when threatened when death by the authorities has not been afraid to die for what they considered to be their rights. As I said, we must disagree with the Genera if he is referring only to African Negroes, be cause we know well that the dark Oleo of the Negroes must possess great exploitation and exploitation as never before. They have or organized the largest Negro labor union in the world for the purpose of attaining and maintaining a high standard of living, even when threatened with death by the authorities. Many of them in the past few months have not been afraid to die for what they considered to be their rights. In America, the Land of the Free, the Negro acts differently. He is not negroification about to engulf him, he goes calmly along his way, attending dances and conventions, church socials and bridge games; frequenting lodge rooms, then moving on to the next negroification involving his very survival confronting him. If the American Negro were not as patient at the ass, he would be at least 75 per cent organizer against the forces oppressing him. He would preface his speech with a plea to thrust him back into a state of slavery. He would sacrifice his every possession for the prope defense of his manhood rights and the acquisition of his freedom. Instead, the entire Negro group in the United States gives less than $100,000 a year to the only states that for full freedom; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Knowing which I ask: If Homo Aframericanus isn't closely related to the ass, he would be a slave. GEORGE R. SCHULLEY. If the American Negro were not as patient as the ass, he would be at least 75 per cent organized against the forces oppressing him. He would present a united front against all the forces seeking to oppress him. He would sacrifice his every possession for the proper defense of his manhood rights and the acquisition of full social equality as an American. Instead, the entire Negro group in the United States is the only organization that is effectively fighting his battles for full freedom: the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Knowing which I ask: If Homo africanus is not closely related to the ass family what is he related to? GEORGE 8, SCHUYLER, New York City. Day by Day By WILLIAM N. JONES Mr. Bahlke, of the Metropolitan Life George W. Bahlke, manager of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, is being mentioned by his friends as a likely candidate for Mayor of Baltimore. It would be considered unjust by his friends if we call attention to the fact that the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has a deliberately decided policy to bar colored men and women as employees despite the fact that colored people in America have more insurance in force in the Metropolitan Life companies combined, and that this policy is being rigidly enforced here in Baltimore. It might also be pointed out that this policy on the part of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has the effect of killing colored babies, shortening colored lives and increasing colored crime, by the economic consequences in cutting off from wage-earning fathers. How would we know whether Mr. Bahike would be honest and just enough to divide the civic and economic privileges over which he would preside, as the mayor of Greater Baltimore, in proportion to fitness and coloriness instead of acceding to color? No. No. No thinking colored man or woman in Baltimore could vote for Mr. Bahike without having a conscious feeling that he or she was helping to kill off a few more babies and shorten the lives of a few more working women by shaving them into a restricted economic corner. "Norms" and "Teaching Efficiency Elementary public school teachers in Baltimore are being scrutinized as a result of efficiency tests which show that colored pupils in the fourth grade here have lower "norms" or average intelligence than white children in the same grade. Although, it is said, children of both races enter the schools with about the same native ability, tests taken when they have reached the fourth grade show that the colored children have not advanced with the same degree of "efficiency" as the white children, their averages on the whole are lower. If this is true, it is important enough for serious thinking; because the fourth grade is the first milestone in modern educational systems. In trying to find the cause of the station in Baltimore, which three years of tests have revealed, all manner of conclusions are being reached by different persons. Inefficient teaching in the first four years of school work is one of the conclusions, and there has been questioning as to whether these teachers are carning the equal pay which they are getting along with the teacher. This conclusion is reached by some who argue that, having children of the same native ability sent to them originally, if they do not advance them with the same efficiency that grade teachers in the white schools are doing, the teaching must be active. Concern that the courses of study, which are now the same for both white and colored, should be altered to allow a different test for colored children. The Real Truth But neither of the above suggestions touches the real underlying cause. If three years of intelligence tests in Baltimore schools show that colored children have a lower "norm" at the end of the third grade than that of white children, teaching efficiency may play a part, but there are other factors far more deep seated that would have to be reckoned with in order to right the situation. Brief of these factors is the one basic in Baltimore as in many other cities, of having a rigid line of employment above which the fathers of these children cannot go. Whether we believe it or not, biologists know that the mental and physical development of children in the first grades are highly influenced by food, sunlight and other environment. The "intelligence norm" is bound to follow the "economic norm" to be taken all in all, the "economic norm" of the white child is far above that of the colored child. When we come down to sitting for cause, therefore, we shall be led to consider, for instance, how far the appropriation of $3,077,007 for the Baltimore City fire department this year will affect the Negro "norm." The most of this money will go in applications to help make decent homes for WHITE children. No colored child in the public schools will be benefited, through the salary route, by this money, although their fathers must help to raise it by taxes. The same thing may be said of the police department where more than $3,000,000 will be spent. The same thing may be said of many police officers, who said to be fair and honest, but who bar colored men from all but menial jobs, with corresponding pay, in their plants. Since colored and white children admitted have the same native ability, then, if biology teaches us anything, it assures us that children are the same "intelligence norm" in the fourth grade where their environment and opportunities are the same. The real question is, when will the community — through its administrative forces, through its business and commercial interests, through its churches and its schools, through its colored child the same chance, by opening to its father the same economic opportunities which fathers of all white children enjoy? That's the real problem. Africans Say: "Afiche们 have much in common with us as wilt and wisdom expresses in them," he said.

(BRIDGES) Chips from the Quarry The Proofreader Talks. The apostrophe and the possessive case, continued. Recurring to Harvey's definition: "The possessive case (or form) is used to indicate ownership, authorship, origin, or kind," there seems to be nothing incongruous in indicating authorship (Bucellis' geometry or origin (the sums of the powers of the ideas in both cases are closely related to ownership, or at least grow out of it. As to indicating KIND, there matter, the matter, here we see a aspect of those curious anomaly of language which it is difficult to account for satisfactorily; and the use of the possessive form in a modifying noun which is used to indicate the worth, a hand's breadth) is still more difficult to account for. This latter use of the possessive form is entirely ignored by Harvey, and by most, if not all, emigrants. A curious feature connected with the latter use of the possessive form is that, while few persons would fail to put in the apostrophe in such combinations as when the possessive of what is in the singular number, yet if the words are in the plural (e.g. two days' wages, a three months' visit), most persons will omit the apostrophe. A few years ago it fell to lot of the phrases 'three months' course, 'two weeks' course, 'completely' occurred times of time, and in only an occasional instance was the apostrophe used. It took a deal of agreement to get permission to make the needen corrections. Rare indeed are the instances that require in such cases. As has been stated the use of the possessive form to denote KIND (e.g. men's clothing, women's shoes) fixed in the language. In the examples given, the modifying nouns are plural, and there is the same failure among writers to use the apostrophe in the singular in the singular (e.g. she is wearing a boy's hat) there is no difficulty — except of course with those persons whose knowledge of grammar is limited and these 'tails' will not benefit either class.

In an account of a recent A.M.E. inaction meeting in the AFRO, the Bishop Lynon (M.E.) is reported as saying that the biggest task for the minister is to "save the saved."

RULES JACKASS POLITICIANS During Each Presidential Campaign the Republicans Ride the Negro as the Master Does an Ass. The Negro Politician *Belle veth All Things*, Hopeth All Things, Endureth All Things. By KELLY MILLER General Jan Christian Smuts, the Boer Statesman of South Africa brought down the wrath of Afro-Americanism on his head when he likened the Negro to the ass in his manifestation of the quality of patience. All likeness to a certain class of animals is usually regarded as distasteful; while comparison to others is accepted as a comparison to others. We compare or a race horse is but to emphasize an adorable qualities. But to call one an ass, a hog, or a snake is regarded as an insult. We may accept the comparison in certain particulars and reject it in others. "Be ye as wise as a serpent," conveys an entirely different meaning from—"A snake in the grass." General Smuts was unfortunate in the animal simile employed rather than the quality which he intended to exol. The ass is usually noted for beauty and stubbornness, rather than for his endurance and patience. The recent New York incident in which the South African statesman enraged the Negro world was universally admitted to be unfortunate. That the general himself took this view of his verbal faux pas was evidenced by his palliative explanation in response to Nelson's appeal and also by his entirely respectful and circumspect handling of racial sensibilities in the Howard University conference. The Negro's amazing patience and endurance in the field of politics will serve to amply demonstrate the indelibility of this quality. One expects to find in the political domain a dynamic, aggressive character which brook no reserve and no delay. As Senator Ingalls of Kansas used to say, politics is the metaphysics of force. The game is played in the active voice and present tense. Trotter Insists William Monroe Trotter, our most ardent instant reformer, insists on every right with all our might. But in actual experience our foremost politicians show the greatest patience and the most scriptural comparison so the ox and the ass. "The ox knowh his owner and the ass his master's rib." Frederick Douglass who possessed many lion like qualities was as mild and patient as the others in the Republic party and he represented party was the ship; all else the sea. Although the Grand Old Party even in his day had grown indifferent and apathetic, yet he preserved a faith and patience which astounded us, a generation after his death. Not only so, but he in the Republic party who became impatient with the party of his loyalty and his love. G.O.P. Rides Nearo If we trace the long line of Negro politicians from the sage of Anacosta to Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, we discover that same undying patience with the outrages and sanctions of whites with the violence of Ginnie Ginnie made glorious. I have watched the conspicuous Negro political leaders for forty years. During each recurrent presidential campaign, the Republicans have ridden the Nero, as the man of the journey, and the man of the journey, he has hitched, as it were, to the outside post, then: to stand and wait in patience until the next campaign, when he hends his back for another ride by the political box. The Negro politician, like Paul's definition of charity, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. The political manipulators rely with never failing assurance upon the Negro's asinine qualities of dumbers, the民政ly and pac- At the beginning of each administration, he is urged to wait until certain essential administrative projects are out of the way when his time is available. But, alas, that time never arrives until the quadrinnium is over, when the whole circle of promise and delay is repeated, ad infinitum. There is a limit beyond which practical ease to be a virtue. Practical wisdom consists in finding that limit. Etiquette 1. Should one ever chew food with one's mouth open? 2.

In the Catholic Chronicle Since the Civil War one of the many injustices practiced against the Negro have been an organized propaganda which systematically paints a false picture of our colored neighbor, which day after day tells a deliberate lie about him, a lie often repeated and insisted upon that the calinators themselves and white people in general have come to consider it a Gospel truth or an inspired tradition which they imbibe and make a part of their daily creed in life as naturally as they inhale the pure air and make it a part of their being. The instruments used to paint this false picture of the Negro need not be mentioned. They are the old mediums of falsehood; the literature on the nation, more especially the novel of the Negro house; the blurted opinions of the ignorant elite, especially of those who "know the Negro best," though they acquaintance with him or viewed him fairly from the opposite side of a chasm; opinions which better minded people fear to question. Stage and Song In short, books, newspapers, songs, the stage, and conventional fashion have been worked over-time by those whose interest it is to have the Negro as a model. Like an unchecked prairie fire, slander and calumny have seared and burned the good name of the Negro, so that now without proof or warrant the best of us believe that no real good can come from the colored man. The average, self-satisfied white man condescendingly admits that if the Negro knows his place and proves himself a steady hand at tamping asphalt or cleaning spittoons he may be able to do so with the imperial Pullman porter, but this must be the very pinacle of all Negro aspirator. Seminaries And Catholics, too, foolishly dragged along by the current of popular opinion, usually only tolerate him their highest educator in the schools or bar him from their seminaries, nip a colored clergy in the bud. deprive the race of Catholic leaders, temporal and spiritual, render impossible knocking at their doors, as the record of sixty years demonstrates, and put the national menace of an American race problem in the category of the unsolvable. Shade of colored citizenry shares the ill repute. Be they full-blooded, half-breed, quadron, or oct罗cter they may at any moment be expected to give in moral corruption to the moral corruption like people leprosy. The poison is there, it is in the blood, the blood over its bloody innocence that the Negro's innermost immunity must appear. The White Race. is Exempt? Of course, the white race, however in some peculiar way, is exempt from the effects of racism, and people who have no concepisence. They are angels in the flesh and, like our first parents in the garden of paradise, they carry the light of the sun on their shells, beaches, automobiles, ballrooms, promenades of fashion, divorce courts, and houses of debauchee. They are immaculate choirs of "white" angels. The superior attunements of whites in science and letters, their wealth, their power, and their beauty render them an antioxin which renders them immune from vice and immorality. Our confessionals are no longer needed to receive from the white penitent the skin. ```markdown ``` How idle it is to say that the Negro is immoral. What is meant by the phrase? It is meant that he is immoral. What is meant by the white man who is not immoral? If so, it is laughable and absurd. It is meant that the Negro is immoral in that sense in which the whole human is an idle epithet and a waste of words. Or, lastly, it is to understand that the Negro is more immoral than the white man. If so, what was the reason for the Negro's defy any man to prove that the white American is the moral superior of the black. There is no proof but hearsay, gossip and meaninglessness of formal guilt. I believe the Negro to be less culpable; from the point of view of material wrong doing. I believe him to be no more for every crime committed by "a big burly black brute" there can be named a worse offense done by a polished white villain, and an offence of a greater mallee, greater deliberation, greater hypocrisy, and an abused better understanding. The Same Clay No, the Negro is made of the same clay as the rest of us. Sin has darkened his intellect and weakened his will and left in him a strong in climation to evil. Sin has one the same as the slave man. The three concupiscences are the mortal enemies of all mankind. The whole human family, in a grand alliance, must stand shoulder to shoulder in manhood and vice. As all men have been redeemed, and since the elect aspire to an eternal union in heaven, so here below the Faithful should be to each other a mutual support, and as the body of Christ has Jesus Christ Himself in the dread sacrifice are given to the individuals of every Christian race, so the priesthood should be denied to no people because of nationality or color.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.—What promises to be a choice bit of scandal has evolved from recent information disclosed of an alleged romance of ten years' duration between Payton Rose, prominent undertaker of the East End district of this city, and Miss Gladys Coffey of Conemaugh Street, attractive twenty-four-year-old stenographer and former Peabody High School student. Miss Coffey, the alleged sweetheart of Mr. Rose, has entered suit against Rose for assault, and battery. The alleged romance between the couple lasted Saturday morning when Miss Coffey brought the suit in the office of Alderman Burke on Penn Avenue. The unusually attractive Miss Coffey bore marked evidence of the cause of her suit, when she appeared in court with her face scratched and swollen, her eyes blackened, and her lips swollen. Secret Meetings Miss Coffey declares that the romance started about 1920, when she was a student at the Peabody High School, that she and the undertaker had frequent secret meetings, that he even aided her in securing employment, and that she worked during a great deal of the time. During all this time, she alleges, Mr Rose was loving, kind, and extremely attentive to her, and only very recently his attitude toward her changed, and this changed attitude brought about a series of quarrels which finally culminated in the cruel assault in his car on Tuesday night, when she went to meet him at his request, according to Miss Coffey. She further stated that the best part of her life has been given to him and it is for this faithfulness to him that she has brought suit to receive some compensation. Secret Trips The plaintiff alleged that the undertaker promised Miss Coffey last year that he would get a divorce from his wife, but later told her that his wife would not grant the divorce, except for the payment of $10,000. "Queenie," as she allegedly called by her affinity and lover, added to her already fiction-like story by her revelation of several out-of-town trips, including the Elks Convention in Atlantic City during the past summer. New York City, Miss Coffey further stated that Rose strenuously objected to her suggestions that she accept employment at Tuskegee Institute. Divorced Wilmington Girl In July, 1919, Mr. Rose was awarded a divorce from his first wife, Edith Gertrude Rose, of Wilmington, Delaware, after a bitterly contested divorce suit. An alleged "Goldie" was named as co-respondent in this first suit. According to Miss Coffey's story, their affair began immediately after his divorce decree was awarded to him. Mr. Rose is again married and has one child. He is prominent externally, being very active in the Elks and Knights of Pythias lodges. PHILADELPHIA Y.M.C.A.

Church Court Restores Expelled Pastor Atlanta Appellate Body, under Bishop Jones, Reverses Bishop Shaw ATLANTA. — The church court of appeals, meeting here last week under the direction of Bishop W. D. Jones, of the Alabama discipent district, oversees the verdict of an Alabama annual conference which fifteen months ago suspended the Rev. D. E. Thompson from the pastorate of Mt. Zion A.M.E. Zion Church, Louisville, Ky. It was claimed that the Rev. Mr. Thompson had refused to obey the orders of Bishop Shaw, transferring him to the church, that he split from the church and remained the pastor of a dissatisfied group. Evidence produced here indicated that the Rev. Mr. Thompson at the bishop's request, had declined to divert educational funds towards the purchase of an episcopal residence in Birmingham. For this he was not only removed from his job, but transferred out of the conference to a small country town Greenville, Alabama. The appellate court reinstated Dr. Thompson and transferred him to a new post. MAN STABBED TO DEATH LA CROSSE, Va. — David Jiggetts of Marengo. Va.. was stabbed to death.

LETTER VI I feel just as blue as the teacher's necklace (It's one that only Standardids could wear). Oh, I feel so tired and sick, honey. Has Mr. Green spoken to you? Just do the same thing in your apartment, don't give him any argument, but give it to him. 'Cause, if my daddy moves, he's going to see his babe at least once a week. And maybe he'll see what she does now, and that's the truth. And I'll keep good about going out with other boys. But I hope he won't make you go . . . I may be over some night this week. And Johnson, if you hear anything from Green, you'll let me know about it. I am interested in my darling as you are. And you know.

No, see your sleeping on my accord. You can see your baby most anytime. I'm glad you came over last night and I enjoyed reading your note over seven times. It was so sweet. Working for me: your doll. Right after you went out of the store I went home, and I went to the store when I saw my dad turn around again and come back into the store. I tried to attract your retention, but it seems you wouldn't look up to me. Not that you didn't want to.

I heard you were sick. It really worries me to hear such bad news about my beloved. You are such a big sweetheart and felling just right. "Your baby" is not always called me. I will be over one day next week. But I will drop a note in the next day when you are sweet. Dream dreams until I see you again. Dear Johnson: "I'm sorry, but I can't come over Sunday, my people are going out and Marlon and I have to stay home. But I'll be over some day next week and I want sweet food. Last night I had the funniest dream of you, but I'll tell you about it next time I come over, as I'm writing this in a big hurry. You take me not to take it over myself. Well, honey, this is all I have to write. If you're not doing anything tonight, come over and talk to me. I haven't seen you for a long time." (Initials F.L. enclosed in heart.) LETTER III.

Now the question is, how I'll get personal in, post it, because I'm going to teach my mother the baby (pops) is sick. But if there's a will, there's a way. Were you very late for work? Don't blame me. You should have told the boss you were trying to fix your bumps of them going wrong, almost between them. What can be the cause of their coming and going? Do you know, Johnson, it must be love. Well, sweets, there's going to be no more fighting and scrapping, because your devils going wrong will turn out good, because you know the saying, "Good-looking people never take a good picture." But I'm an exception. Johnson. If I get them taken next day, they won't be finished before next week, so they'll have to have just a bit longer. Johnson, last night when you came in the store, Marion told those boys just how good you were, and they said you must have a heart of gold, and I said you did. So you have. And, Johnson, it did me moe feel good. He then say that about him, his daddy. Dear, time is getting short and so is paper.

(NOTE-Here Florence London comes out point blank and tells him the accuser that she was inmate with other men was false. The letter goes on.) After you finish reading this, I want you to set down at your desk, look at my picture (not the other two), and write to me, telling me that you do believe what I told Johnson, dear, I don't care if you don't believe anything I ever told you. You must believe me when I never knew you. That I will never idle. I'll never forget that dear. Well, I better stop sobbing out my story of roe, and talk about pleasanter things.

You know, Johnson, I had a feeling they weren't going to turn out good. I don't know why. And I was afraid to go in to look at them for fear they had been in my way. This is where the surprise comes in. I think they turned out very well (Thank heavens). You know I took two poses. So here was the job of picking out the best. One was smiling and the other was a rah- But I chose the latter. The photographer said it made me look more innocent. I'm having one made in color, and the other two plain. And Johnson, the one I got him to give me the proof of the old picture. 'Cause he would only throw it away. It's rather nice but it's a little too light. I think I want to show it to you. So if you come keep it long, because it wades away. I told him to give the pictures to anyone that has the floket. But you have to go after I o'clock, for them, because the other time his brothers there and he knows next to nothing. I could get them my tomorrow, as I am going in town, but mother will be waving and if one or two disappear. So you lend for them, and if I don't have time to come over to get them you keep them until Monday morning, when I'm going to school. Don't anything to me, whatsoever she does to hurt her. Oh, Johnson, I do hope you'll like them, because it was for you that I really took them. I have a camera. And you'll have to get a golden frame studded with rubics and diamonds for your And I know my dady will be careful to whom he shows it to over in the apartments. And when he's expecting company, away from the place, I am not over to-light, you can over on. Johnson, when you have my picture, you won't have to eat any more baked apples or peaches before retiring, just give live glove and there will be all of your needs required in putting my dady to sleep.

WAY CLEARED Philly High School Tests Open to Colored. PHILADELPHIA.—Interest in securing more appointments of race youth at West Point look a practical turn here last week when Representative James M. Beck (Rep., Pa.), stated that he would take the first opportunity offered him to appoint a colored youth to that institution. The statement from Mr. Beck came in reply to a letter from the Rev. J. G. Robinson, editor of the A.M.E. Church Review, in which the editor asked the congressman to appoint a colored cadet. According to Rev. Mr. Robinson, thousands of race volunteers supported Congressman Beck in his campaign. Way Cleared In his letter, the congressman declared that he would have no more regular appointments for a year, but that he would be glad to have any qualified young man brought to his attention that he may give him next consideration. So far, he said, the appointments made by him were based on competitive examinations held at the Southern High School in Philadelphia, but that he would be glad to assist any young colored man from another source if brought to his attention. It was found that race students would have the opportunity of entering the examinations at Southern High School and the Rev. Mr. Robinson has written the principal asking for the names of some of the best prepared young men whom he intends to bring to the attention the congressman. "I am sure," declares the Rev. Mr. Robinson, "if such young men can be found within the bounds of the first congressional district, whether they are from the South Philadelphia High School or not, we can get Mr. Beck to consider them in connection with his next appointments."

Many loud speakers have an adjustment for increasing and decreasing the pressure on the diaphragm. When making any adjustments, care must be taken that the adjustment is not made too tight, otherwise the diaphragm is liable to be buckled. The adjusting medium should first be gradually tightened, while the receiver is tuned to a nearby station until the desired volume is obtained. If the diaphragm is been too tightly adjusted, its free movement will result in rattling will result. Releasing the pressure on the diaphragm until the point of maximum volume has been reached is the remedy. Green on Big Time Sammy Green, formerly of the Lenox Club, is playing Orpheum and Keith Time.

(ANP)—In honor of their continuous service at the Alhambra Theater, Margie Bourgain, the most popular girls on the stage, will be given a party backstage by a few friends in the theatrical world, signaling three hours of continuous performance at one house. Miss Bournonville says she has worn out forty-five pairs of shoes in that time, and Miss Young is close behind her with forty-two, twenty-two, and fifty-two changed costumes over a thousand times during their time at the Alhambra—figure it out for yourself, twenty-two shoes a week, fifty-two weeks a year, three years with three changes a show.

PLAYHOUSES AND PLAYFOLK DANCER AT BENNETT Mabel Jones, interpretive dancer of Columbus, Ohio, made her initial appearance in Greensboro, N.C., Wednesday evening in a program presented under the auspices of Bennett College, a private high school in High School auditorium. The event, which started at 8:30 o'clock, was largely attended by an appreciative audience which packed the auditorium.

Burleigh's "Rise! Shine! For the Light is a Coming," was well sung, while Dvorak's "Going Home" (from New World Symphony), seemed to move its audience with this sorrowful Negro theme. The Virginia Union male octette sang Rachmaninoff's Creation Hymn very effectively. Mrs. L. W. Davis was a accompanist for the octette and choir.

Hard things are handled there; chisels, crowbars, knives, guns—and a galvanized pail that rests on a shelf in the back of the place. a slouchy looking character comes in, unkempt, ragged, and rather surly looking. But beneath the mask of dirt and grime, smeared with his matted hair, is the face of a youngster only seventeen. A companion, smaller than he, but equally as ragged and filthy, hesitates on the threshold of the doorway, but comes no further. He looks anxiously up and down the street, somewhat in the manner of a hawk scouting for prey. The storekeeper, burly man, with manic flair, florid nose, wipes his hands on a dirty apron as he shuffles from the back of the store to the counter where the prospectus customer stands. He has no words are spoken to as the eyes seem to find understanding. Can You Tell? When is a "benefit" not a benefit? Is a "benefit" Mid Hill Avenue Branch, YMG.A, probably answers that query in its financial report of the mid-night "benefit" performance given at the Regent Theatre two Sundays ago, which shows a deficit A pop bottle and a greasy dime appear simultaneously on the dented pine counter. A pipette removes a dipteropod from a nail in the wall, and with it reaches into the galvanized pail that rests on an upside-down shelf. Fluid is fluid into the bottleneck the bottle is three-quarters full, puts it into a manila bag, and hands it to the purchaser, who goes towards the door.

Add Rackets They stand out in front of theatres as the crowds thicken. In the raucous voice of the professors, the lyric man echoes the 100 most popular songs: "The 100 most popular song: For a nickle." Only five cents, the twentieth part of a dollar. "Turn on the Heat," "Ant' Mischehavin," and all the other songs are, right, right, ladies and cents. Sales have been going rather briskly, here of late, the song sellers say. But they will also tell you that they are a little perturbant to the music for selling songs in New York, following complaints of the Music Publishers' Association and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. What the business of the 100 for a nickle men has been flourishing may be seen in the report of Irving Berlin, Inc., that the company has suffered a slump of 600 copies a day, with things started in Chicago, has spread all over the country and according to the office of United States Attorney Charles Tuttle it has made millions of dollars a year.

The expenses of $396.40 and receipts of $551 from the sale of 702 tickets, tell the story. From the entertainment angle, the benefit was a success. Eubie Blake and Broadway Jones, who drew $177.40 as their share of the money, gave a great show to $100 spent for the rental of the Regent, $89.60 for advertising and printing, and $30 repain on a loan from the committee of management, secured in advance to promote the affair.

Stage Erases Color Line, Bledsoe Says Actor-Singer Believes "Show Boat" Did Much to Break Down Bar CLEVELAND — Jules Bledsoe, internationally famous baritone and an important personage in "Show Boat," whose "Old Man River" is one of his most acclaimed performances at a local theatre, the color line has been erased in the American Theatre. Boat "boat" helped to do it. During theatrical history the Negro has been dramatized and plays have been built around him, but until a recent period the parts usually were played on. On this he says: "I do not believe that any white actor can truthfully portray a Negro character. There are racial emotions that the Noéde artist cannot feel or understand, therefore he cannot interpret them."

WORKERS DANCE IN CLEVELAND Comrades of Both Races Trip it While Policemen Scowl. ORDER 'ROBBERS DANCE' Cops Peeved, Close Party Before Midnight. (AFRO Service) CLEEVERAND. — About ten men and three women joined rank with the hundreds of white workers in an inter-racial dance at Sachsheim Hall, 1400 E. 55th Street, Saturday night. The colored group, members of the American Negro Labor Congress press representatives and several business men arrived on the scene about 10 p.m. They were by boat, danced hall and instructed to obtain partners and enjoy themselves. They did, and how. Two policemen stationed in the hall expressed surprise at seeing such a large delegation of Negroes on hand but were unable to interfere. A handsome young man greedily dressed in ink, and known as Conrade Ruth, member of the downtown branch of the LLD, was chairman of the committee. She bobbed here and there puttin' her ears at ease, accepting playing the pitcher during intermissions. Colored Orchestra "Gay Lace and his Kitters," with a very clever and amusing drummer, snapped out music that was "hotter than hot." Two very clever oftay girls offered some nifty tap and accerete toe dancing during intermission. Following this, a "robber's dance" was called for, which was stopped by one of the police. One of the ones immediately logged in purpose of the ILD and stated that the officer was afraid that some white lady would become indignant at having to accept a colored partner. He said that if there were such present they were in place for there was no color line in the ILD. "I am going to find out who gave this man permission to interfere," he shouted. When the speaker finished the interview, the poleman had wished from within earshot of the pretty remarks directed at him. Closes at 11:30 When the group was at the height of bizarre, the officers returned and ordered the dance stopped at 11:30 o'clock. The cang departed, shouting joyous greetings, and angry because of the distress.

SOPRANO PLEASES Tschalkowsky's "Symphony Pathetique" Moving. One of the smallest audiences to attend a major concert here, greeted the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in its first of a series of concerts for adults at the Douglass High School, Sunday night. The audience, despite the tact that it occupied hardly more than one-fourth the auditorium, more than made up by its size in the enthusiastic manner in which the program of eight numbers was received. It was truly an audience of music lovers. Play Schubert's Work to the opera "Bosamunde," in which Opening with Schubert's overture the string fortissimo was dominating, the orchestra turned to a Tschakow-composition, the second and third movements, the second and third composer's Sixth Symphony or "Symphony Pathetique." The string pizzicato in this moving number was played with flawless technic and clarity. Suite No. 2 from the opera "Carmen" presented a pleasing tone picture the delicate blending and shading of the brass sections of the orchestra with the fine, clear and mellow notes of the reeds and strings, being exceptionally harmonious. The Guarre Montante, with its martial air, was particularly appealing. Soloist Charms Miss Henriette Kern, soprano soloist with the orchestra, sang triaria. "Ah, fers e ul" (Was this the Man?) from the *La Traviata*. "Her name is down and clear and of unusually high pitch and of romantic mood that is the soul of the composition. In Goundn's Waltz Song from the opera "Romeo and Juliet". Miss Kern demonstrated her ability, being forced to take two bows. The introduction to the Third Act and Dance of the Amentions from the opera "Die Meistersinger". by Warner and Nodoll's "Merry Wives of Bath". The triaria, were applied vigorously, but it was MacDowells "To A Wild Rose", familiar to practically all of the listeners, that captivated them. Violin and cello, alternating in taking part, with the background of reeds and brasses, made the rendition of the composition a distinct achievement. The sympathetic directing of Conductor Gustav Sturteb was a distinct achievement of the program. The second of the adult concerts is scheduled for March 9. Astwood Hit at Alambra New York papers are loud in their 'reviews of Norman Astwood, Eddie Hunter's straight man. His places on the bill just closed at the Alhambra were difficult in spots, but Astwood filled in capably, one number evoking prolonged applause. Astwood sings "The Web of Love" and the chorus dances attired in filmy garments simulating butterflies. It goes over big and Astwood forced to work with Eddie Hunter. Astwood gets a splendid opportunity to demonstrate his ability. The team leaves the Alhambra Theatre this week for vaudeville. Meers Team Clicks The Paul Meers are still wowing them in Nassau. They have been receiving more than their share of praise as the following clipping will prove. "The Meers played on Monday evening to the largest audience ever gathered for the performance started all the seats in the building were sold at top-motch prices and people were clamouring for standing. Musicians must be one thousand the audience, and there were no more because they could not be packed in the place; but it is now believed that the same still gain and again. a little other show has ever done in Nassau — for it is recognized that they are offering the best performance that has, perhaps, ever been played on island.

THURSDAY 4 DAYS RIOT! Segregation is Scheme to Let Whites Break into Negro Race Whenever They Like. BOSTON. — "The High Cost of Jim Crow Civilization," was the subject discussed by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, in Washington, D.C., at Ford Hall Forum, on Sunday afternoon. The address was enthusiastically received, by several hundred persons of both races. "Jim-Crow Civilization," said she, "allows some white people to break into the Negro race whenever they like, yet make laws to prevent Negroes from breaking into the white race." She said that the civilization of America uses thousands of white Names to the list of race prejudice and to disappear annually and merge into the white race. how to be kind, how to be self-sacrificing. The Negro can raise himself by education and can forget his color, and the white man can be fair. America will have a practical democracy such as was never seen before. Coalition of Minorities Prof. Alain Lever-Locke of the Department of Philosophy, Howard University, a Harvard graduate, and Oxford Rhodes scholar, spoke on "Self-Determining the Negro." During the course of his address, he said Walker at Golden Lily Bill Walker who first got acquainted with Chicagoans while playing the role of the policeman in "Harlem," took up new duties Monday night at the Golden Lily Cafe as master of ceremonies. The Golden Lily is one of those places which formerly Monday night at the Golden Lily Cafe as master of ceremonies. One of the bright performers in the floor show "Jim-Crow institutions began here with the institution of slavery about 300 hundred years ago," she said. "It resulted in double standards of mortality and of opportunity throughout the country, and it involves non-enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution that ex-President Woodrow Wilson's principle of self-determination is applied to Appalachia and the Americas, including the Negro. He also agreed with Booker T. Washington that the Negro is here to stay. He declared that there are other opportunities in the United States, that they are awakening and that it would be a dangerous mistake if they were to be allowed to agree that a coalition of them all was desirable in order to get their attention. Jim-Crow laws are a good thing to enable whites to look down on, or to look down on somebody. Colored people do not want to be looked down on, or to look down on somebody else; they just want to look across. "Jim-Grow civilization, a government by, for and of some people in which human brotherhood is soft-pedaled, was never intended for this country by the founders. As we know from good authority, it was to be a government by, for, and of all the Americans should build a Christian democracy. Things that count are those of the spirit, how to be just. 9 how to be kind, how to be self-sacrificing. "When the Negr can raise himself by education and can forget his color, he will hate it. He will hate a practical democracy such as was never seen before." Coalition of Minorities Prof. Alain Leroy Locke, of the Department of Philosophy, Howard University, Haiti, and Oxford Rhodes scholar, spoke on "Self-Determining the Negro." During the course of his address, he said Walker at Golden Lily Bill Walker who first got acquainted with Chicagoans while playing the role of the policeman in "Harlem," took up new duties Monday night at the Golden Lily Cafe as master of ceremonies.

Say Cabaretts Draw Line That race patrons are not wanted in most of the night clubs of Harlem is flattered by the doorman places. Without diplomacy, they refuse to admit the majority of colored patrons when the bill is passed. This due, they claim to their inability to pay the steep prices on the bill. Small, Small's Paradise is one of the few places where colored patronage is allowed. The Cotton Club is not so keen on colored visitors and the new Plantation had begun drawing a distinct line, admitting only such well known personas as Bill Patterson, and that type, to the dance Doris Ringels Scores Miss Doris Ringels, of Boston Mass., and a member of the A. and T. College gave a recital there, Friday evening, the benefit of the Gymnastics Fund. Miss Ringels displayed native dramatic ability.

"Man, she's prettier than the law allows—and you say she's a preacher's wife? She's too pretty for that." An idea of what's waiting for you in "Cloistered Ways," the story of a young, beautiful woman who did not believe in a single standard, and who wanted to live her own life, married to a minister. "Cloistered Ways" was written by Joseph V. Baker, a young writer whose debut in the world of fiction has been crowned with marked success. In "Cloistered Ways" he rises to the highest peak of his earliest efforts. Those who read this dynamic, heart-rending story, will wonder how one human being can write with so much understanding of life's problems. It begins next week in the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION.

"Quit can't," said Tappen. "Well," said Bus. Baxter's number ended in a furor. "Three minutes and twenty secondes," said Bus. The applause eventually died out. Bus began his second number, a fox-trot. In the midst of it he saw Jean dancing, beseeching him with bewildered dismay in her eyes. Bus crushed him. Tappen rapped on the rim of his trap drum, tapped his triangle, stamped the pedal that clapped the cymbals, but the result was a toneless and hollow clatter, a weightless noise that bounced back and penetrated into it. The players also, distracted by the loss, were operating far below par, and not all their leader's trivial false enunciation of the gaping absence of bass. The very spine had been ripped out of their music, and Tappen's desperate efforts were but the hopeless flutterings of a stricken, limp, puseless heart. "Five-five second!" Curry announced, "Making a total so far of one minute flat for the Blue Devil's Firefight now play the second album!" The fox-torst was Baxter's re-arrangement of Burleigh's "Jean, My Jean," and Baxter, riding his present advantage hard, was the first to use the tonal ingenuity. The thing was delirious with strange harmonies, iridescent with odd color-changes, and its very flamboyance. Its music delighted the theater. But it failed to delight Jean Ambrose, whom by its title it was intended to flatter. She rushed to Bus. "What is it?" She was a-aquiver. "Drums gone. Somebody cut the pigskin the last minute." What? Somebody? Who? "Cut it with a knife close to the rim." "Cut? He cut-? Oh, Bus!" She flashed Baxter a look that sounded like he had been it. "Can't you - Listen." She was at once wild and ways know what to do. Crude and harmful methods will never appeal to you. Go prove this for your own business. We give a great many disagreeable hours.

Turn the blues into a shout." "Yea? See. Maybe—" "Try the you've got to win this thing." An upright that seemed endless greeted Baxter's version of "Jean." The girl, back on the floor, asked as Baxter acknowledged the acclaim by gesturing toward her. "The present score, ladies and gentlemen, is—for the Blue Devils, one minute even; for the Firemen, six minutes and thirty seconds! The Devils will now, play their "firefly" introspection of another," mowed the stones. Into that laughter Bus grimly kicked him like a captain leading his command into fire. He had chosen the parent of blues songs, the old Sweet Louis Blues, and he adduced several others that classic. Clarinetists wailed, saxophones moaned, trumpets wepretched, trombones laughed bitterly, even the great bass horn soiled from the depths. And so perfectly did the music express the actual despair of the situation that the crowd was caught from the start. Soon dancers closed their eyes, forgot their josting neighbors, lost themselves in the easy way that slow, fateful meal allowed, some quality hitherto lost had at last been found. They were too wholly absorbed to note just how that quality had been found: that every player softly dropped his heel and fled the crowd, having come, giving each major impulse a body and breadth that no drum could have achieved. that no drum could have been held of the crowd and rocked it. They had been rocked thus be- tude saw Bus Williams throw cup both into his arms. fore, this multitude. Two hundred years ago they had swayed to that same slow fateful measure, lifting their lamentation to heaven, pounded their heart, and unleashing the mercy of a new God through the medium of an old rhythm. Zoom—zoom. They had rocked so a thousand years ago in a city where the wrath of a terrible black God who spoke in storm and pestilence had swayed and wailed to that same slow period, beaten on a wild boar's skin stretched to the edge of a zoom—zoom. Not a sound but an emotion that laid hold on their bodies and swung them into the past. Blues—low-down blues indeed, that reached their 'sins.' But slowly the color changed. Each player allowed his heel to drop less and less softly. Solo parts were moved to gather power as a whole. The rhythm persisted, the unaltering common meter of blues, but the blueness itself, the sorrow, the despair, the long hope came to the verge of realization—mounted it—rose above it. The deep and regular impulses now vibrated like nearing thunder, a mighty, inescapable murmur, by the contrast of wind-tones; an all-pervading atmosphere through which soared wild-winged birds. Rapurously, rhapsodically, the number of madness and the contrast of its madness, burst into sudden silence. Illusion broke. Dancers awoke, dropped to reality with a jolt. Suddenly, the But Williams had returned to form, had put on a back, had struck off a masterpiece. And the crowd showed its appreciation. It applauded its palms sore. The surprise-ridden announcement ended: "Total—for the Blue Devils, seven minutes and forty seconds." For the Firemen, six minutes and thirty seconds! Maybe that wasn't the firemen's last number! All the Firemen will play their last number!" It was needless for Baxter to attempt the depths and heights just attained by Bus Williams's Blue Clothing. He was able to resist the rhythm of rhyme to tone, his exotic coloring, all were useless in a low-down blues song. The crowd moreover had nestled upon the broad, sustaining bosom of a shout. Nothing more than the presence of Baxter's last piece left them chill and unsatisfied. But if Baxter realized that he was beaten, his attitude failed to reveal it. Even when the major volume of applause was coming, he remained unmaintained his self-assured grin. The reason was soon apparent: Although the audience as a whole had stopped applauding, two small groups of assiduous hand-clappers, one at either extreme of the crowd, had kept up a diminutive violent clatter.

Again Bus and Tappen exchanged sardonic stares. "Damn' if he ain't paid somebody to clap!" Only the threatening hisses and boos of the majority terminated this clatter, whereupon Curry summed up: "For Bus Williams's Blue Devils seven minutes and forty seconds! Seventh Baxter's Firemen — eight minutes! He presented Baxter the loving-cup amid a hubbub of murmurs, handclaps, shouts, and hisses that drowned whatever he said. Then the hubbub hushed. Baxter was the one who was the form. With a bow and a flourish, he handed the girl the cup. She held it for a moment in both arms, uncertain, hesitant. But there was nothing uncertain or hesitant in the mob's reaction and he was filled in a deluge of disapproval. Cries of "Crooked!" "Don't take it!" "Crown the cheat!" "He stole it!" stood out. Tappen put his finger over the mouth and damn him to a gash, held up the mutilated instrument, and cried, "Look what he done to my traps!" A few hard-boiled ruffians close to the platform moved menacingly toward the door. "Grab im! Knock his can of!" Jean's uncertainty abruptly vanished. She wheeled with the trophy in close embrace and sailed across the platform toward the defeated pirate. She smiled into his astonished face and thrust the cup into his arms. "Hot damn, mama! That's the time!" cried a jubilant voice from the floor, and instantly the gathering storm of menace roared right. That romance-hungry multitude saw Bus Williams throw his baton into the air and gather the and the loving-cup both into his arms. And they went utterly wild-laughed, shouted, yelled and whistled till the crowd was silent. "Jazz emerged as the mad noise subsided: Bus Williams's Blue Devils playing 'She's Still My Baby.'"

The term "diring" is the product of an outworn civilization, it is part of the harness of the "double standard" if it be the result the belief that women must not be honest in action, that to be a lady you must be elusive and indirect. Julia Jerome By JULIA JEROME Our letter this week is from a lonely young lady in a great city. But what if you always waited up to the moment before you ever spoke to another woman? Wouldn't that seem ridiculous? Now that women pay their own bills on the same light as it was in the past. A woman today does not consider every man she meets as a possible husband whom, if she plays her husband's role, she will bill for the rest of her life. Therefore, she need not pretend that she is elusive and so tremendously a offender, she will want to hurry her off to the alar. "My Dear Mrs. Jerome: "I am in the biggest city in the world and I am, I think, the loneliest girl in the world. I am especially lonely for male companies, I am especially the loneliest of men, many of them looking nice enough to know, and yet I can never know them because I know no one here to introduce me. I would have to first them and that would give them a chance to give me more of I was raised to think that girls who resorted to flirting were common, and I believe that most people think so too, especially men.

Dear D. Bunker: I don't know why it is but somehow the young men as well as the young women in my neighborhood leave me almost entirely alone. They always treat me well when meet them. I want to ask them to go with them places. Unless it is a general community gathering where old folks, as well as young are welcome or invited, I am left out of things. Now this may be all right for some girls but it is not for all. I have friends and I want to be well thought of but somehow the crowds that I would like to join seem to forget that I have ever met them or tell something from my hand-writing that will help me find a little more happiness? The only way, Irene, for you to find your happiness is to loosen up just a little bit in the way you think. Be more friendly; go forward and put out your hand. Meaning, I mean this literally but I mean it in the way that you feel. Do not wait for them to come to you. Do not be so reserved, so hesitant about believing in yourself. Be aware where you expect people to leave you out and this is one reason why they do. Quit expecting it and yet do not be heart broken when they do because they are going to do it for quite a long time. However, you can overcome this by being a little more expressive of your feelings and not so timid. Louisiana.

Some time ago I sat down to dine with a number of ladies from excel. little city homes. Apparently some of them were not accustomed to so many knives, spoons and forks as well, and were correspondingly nervous. One lady, in particular, was actually excited. She fidgeted around as though she were being entertained by royalty, and because she fidgeted, she made half a dozen social errors that she would not have committed had she been perfectly quiet and natural and carefully watched the Don't be afraid of such things.

When the plate of bread was passed, she took a a piece with her fork Teaching Generosity (Author of The Courtsey Book) Some children do not have to be taught to be generous. They are as sunny itself. But many children are, if not actually stingy, inclined to be selfish. In a family where there are several children, it will often be noticed that either generosity or stinginess is a marked trait in each of them. The "only" child is often little to blame if he grows up selfish, for he hasn't the opportunity for sharing that one of several children in a family has and his parents often unconsciously encourage him to be selfish. But unfortunately, adults may also teach children, blessed with brothers and sisters, to be selfish, both by example and by speech. The "holding-on" habit is hard to break. It is hard to break! The mother who hoards, unnecessarily, in her household, the father whose garage is a junk pile from which he won't spare a scrap or the aunt who can't bear to pick a flower in her garden because they look so much more growing, "all children to be the opposite of generous. Contrast with these, the mother who encourages Johnnie to collect newspapers in his own home and neighborhood to salvage for her children, who from the child's babyhood by suggestion and example make him eager to share his seat, his playthings, his candy, with brother or sister or even the forlorn little child of the hummingbird what we give, but what we share."

NEW YORK. — Abraham Lincoln was not a member of any church. He was not the product of a church or of a Sunday School, yet he was a Christian, said the Rev. Dr. James Palmer, in his sermon Sunday morning at the Sound View Presbyterian Church, the Bronx. Answering the question, "Was Abraham Lincoln a Christian?" Dr. Palmer said: "For the sake of the youth of our country, and for the sake of all who reverence Jesus Christ, this question should be answered fairly. Palmer quoted from a number of Lincoln letters and papers, proving that the criminalizer was compassionate, self-sacrificing, and to him God was a perfect reality. Implored Divine Aid To a mother who had lost five sons in the Civil War, Lincoln wrote: "I pray that our Heavenly father may assuage the anguish of your be-reavenment," and in a farewell address to his home folk he said: "Without the assistance of that Divine she whom I attended me, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail, trusting in Him who can go with me and remain in her everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well." From Lincoln's Gettysburg speech he said, "Highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom." Open Infidel John P. Stewart, who was Lincoln's first law partner, however, declared that Lincoln was an "avowed and an antheist," that he "went further against Christian belief and doctrine and principles than any man he ever heard." Lincoln always denied that Jesus was a son of God as understood and maintained by the Christian church." Believed in Providence William H. Herndon, for twenty years Lincoln's friend and law partner, sometimes bordered on atheism, Mr. Herndon said: "Sometimes he would come into the house and read a Bible with him, read a chapter and argue against it. As he grew older he grew more discreet. He didn't talk much before strangers about his real life." "No man had a stronger or firmer faith in Providence—God—than Mr. Lincoln, but the continued use by his friends must not be interpreted meaning that he believed in a personal God." Douglass not a Church Member Frederick Douglass, the great Maryland abolitionist, was also no church member. His views, however, about slavery, were not shared, and served in a letter to the Rev. T. G. Steward, later a chaplain in the United States Army, but at that time pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, where he was a pastor. 1786 is preserved in Chaplain Steward's book, "Fifty Years in the Gospel Ministry". Mr. Douglass's letter was in reply to the request of the pastor that he be freed. The Rev. Mr. Steward said that he noticed Mr. Douglass in his congregation regularly, although he had heard he was not a believer in slavery. He was not a believer by some that he had little respect for ministers of the religion. Douglass's Reply In reply, Mr. Douglass said that he had frequently heard himself called anything but an ambivalent spirit, an ignorant man, and an ignorant men inside and outside the pulpit, who really did not know the significance of the epithets they applied to him. "He says he says he," I have never heard such men quote one sentence or syllable from any writings in proof of the justice of the charges so noisy made. "He wonder, therefore, in view of the frequency of such utterances, you should be surprised to find me a regular reader of your church organ, a supporter of your church over the years." "My line of conduct in this matter is not determined by my approval of the theological dogmas often promulgated from the pulpit. In respect of the pulpit, I have no confidence, perhaps, differ very widely from yourself and others, while I yet find ground entirely satisfactory to my judgment and conscience for contentment with your church, and that, of others, God Is Good "As to my infidelity, so-called, it has never denied any attribute of the Deity. To me, God is good! God is light! God is truth! God is love! and to glorify God is to lead a life in harmony with these attributes." "In this respect man is related to his Creator as the watch to the watchmaker. A watch glorifies its maker when it answers the end of its manufacture, which is to keep good time—always to be true, and never to be false in its measurement of time. "An unclean man in body or mind does not glorify his Maker. He may sing praises to the Lord and call himself a Christian, but he brings no glory to the Lord, no good to his fellow man." Christianity "Christianity is nothing to me, except as it stands as the representative of the sight of the soul for a noble purpose for herein is the true glory of God. "Now looking at the church, apart from what is purely theological and abstract, I see in it means of procreation; and, as I have said, for this reason, I contribute my mite towards its support. I will still another reason for this action, though it is a weight with that already given. It is because I would have colored people enjoy advantages for assembling ourselves together, for moral and spiritual development, equal to those enjoyed by others. Church Attractive "A large commodious and well-appointed church, in pulp, choir, and parishioners, who assemble, and commands respect from the outside world. The canonist Methodist Episcopal Church (the Church of the Lord) too long and stilted for my taste) is such a church, and therefore, I want to see it flourish. I asked the Bible, Mr. Douglas said, it was more important to him to know what the Bible really means than to know how it was composed of inspiration we shall accord to it. Contridictions "Here we are met by a confusion of tongues and by endless contradictions, each man and sect drawing comments itself to his or her judgment and a purely human judgment withal. "Whether this interpretation be for peace or for war, for love or for hate, each man and sect has all of races and colors at the same communion table, or whether it excludes a part and sends it off to a little kind of kitchen communion church, whether the Christian religion for one race, or for all races; whether free salvation or predestination, is the true meaning of the Bible; whether Roman or Catholic Church is the innumerable Protestant sects, constitute the true Church. "About these and other endless contradictions I might write inter- Mr. Douglas said that he contri- buted to church because when he contributed to church thought churches contributed to the improvement and moral elevation of mobs who come together in the reach of the pulpit, in the use of the pulpit is capable of being a powerful agent in the dissemination of truth, and he held that truth is the world, and the world, and he did not limit the truth to mere spiritual matters, but to many his relations in the family, the church, in the government, in the world.

Other Delightful Affairs that Followed: a Pretty Bridge Party and a Breakfast Party. The Clarkes Give a Valentine Party. Dear Pansy: In frost, a few furries of snow, then a downpour of rain, together with the appearance of the sun now and then, have made conditions rather dismal here for this week; but the spirit of galley has risen and the appearance of a gloomy, gloomy, with several outstanding events that were greatly enjoyed by a very large number of out-of-town guests and a number of the city residents. The C.C.'s formal dance on Friday to show what happens on Saturday, in spite of any drawbacks, will wind up an elaborate week. An Indian Dance. Pansy, one of the most colorful and unusual affairs of this entire social scene, is the Indian Dance at Pythian Castle on Friday night. Charlie Shipley, who was host at this most brilliant affair, his guests in the following manner: ORDERS FROM CAMP SHIPLEY At Peace at Present On Friday, February seventh, this year the group will be a tribe of the "Hilim-Quicks" calls into solemn council in the Pythian Castle, with good and true braves with their souls. The favorite brave will be the one with the most scars to his credit. Come in your very best war paint and feathers and don't forget your tomahawks. The Grand Sachem will furnish the "Pence Pipes" as usual. He will be there to help you. BIG CHIEF has spoken My dear, these invitations brought guests from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington, with a precious few of our own Baltimore folk. However the dance was unusual, beautiful and brilliant. The guests in their war paints and elaborate leather Indian costumes, could hardly be distinguished from real Indians and their suwaws. Favors, with which one could imitate the Indian war whoop and the like, were also passed around. The eats, "sansyay" make the war food, and everything that could possibly be had of the best of foods and the most select beverages, which flowed like water and could be had at will from a room transformed into a real restaurant. The Ambassadors, had dinner, the Thomas, felt the spirit of the Indians and did justice to the ivories, horns and drums, and made the strings of their instruments fairly do a war dance. The guests, brimming over with dances with the thrill of the music and the spirit of the occasion, until the evening died out and the dawn of the next day peeped above the horizon. A pretier party or a more enjoyable but has not taken place here for many, and many a moon. Among the Baltimore guests who were fortunate enough to get one of Charles Rushing Ruth of course, who assisted him as hostess, also Dr. and Mrs. Charles Fowler, Flavia Thomas and the doctor; the William Fitzpatrick, William Sade Murphy, Dr. J. G. MacRae and his wife, Anita and A. Jack Thomas, "Sis" and Henry Williams, Dr. and Mrs. Edward Hayes, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Hayes and Mrs. Randolph Waters, Roy Calls and his wife, Lucius and "Fittty" Butler, Dr. and Mrs. Cecil Gloster, Salle Logan, Dr. and Mrs. Burwell, Daisy Coleman, Jeanie Gaines, Helen Reynolds, Alma Rich, Madge Hurst, Alpha Peck, Dr. Lewis Green, Jack Fortune, Harry Cummings, C.

A few of the out-of-town guests that I could squeeze together by hinting around, were Mrs. Carroll Durham Dorsey, of Germantown, Pa.; the George Deans, of Philly; Lella Ford, of Philadelphia; ford and her hubby, of Philly; the Robt Reynolds, of Cleveland; and G. T. Collins of Pittsburgh. In fact, I heard that eighteen came down from Pittsburgh. twelve from Philly quite a number of times. A private car brought most of the guests to Pennsylvania station here, while a number motored here in their good looking cars. A Bridge Party. A beautiful bridge party, on Saturday afternoon, from 4 to 8 at Pythian Castle, was given by a number of the girls in honor of out-of-the-box guests, attended the dinner the night before. The hostesses, my dear, from what I could gather, were, Ruth Shipley, Theresa Waters, Florence Gloster, "Fitty" Butler, Virginia Hall, and Hattie Carter. Anyway, the guests presented the beautiful prizes such as a silver coffee urn, an elaborate cigarette holder, a half dozen decks of cards in a beautiful leather case, comb and brush set, and the like; and assorted gifts, the lovely menu in the evening. The hall was colorful and pretty, and the party was a beautiful affair. The afternoon gowns worn by those out-of-town folks were exquisite. The games were enclosed in a chameleon-themed charming young matrons were delightful hostesses.

A Breakfast Party Pansy, continuing these enjoyable affairs for the eout-of-town guests, a breakfast was staged on the lawn, a dinner home that lasted from twelve noon to twelve midnight. Talking about a breakfast; I mean it was a breakfast, from waffles, a chicken, Italian this and French that, clear on up the line, one or two of the Balkimore folks were included in party, also But given that Pittsburgh people were bunging on having about the same bunch up in their city on the twenty-first for a series of week-end affairs, as is predicted, they were up to the affairs that were given in honor of them, here on THE BAY. The Clarkes' Party. Valentine parties are always colorful and delightful, and such was the lovely Valentine bridge party given by Nettie and Emma Clark on Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m. at their home, 1525 Duluth Avenue. Emma and Nettle carried out the Valentine spirit to perfection. The card table covers were red; the tallies were warty Valentine mottos and the cards were little red fancy baskets filled with nuts, and the confections were delicious red peppermint. The ice, too, were partly red. Her little nieces, Emma and Alice David displayed the tallies and collected the socks spiral. Bridge games were tallied very close and the players played with determination, but the luckiest of the lucky were Marian Webb, Blanch Dorsey, of Philadelphia, Erma Davis and Mrs. Jennie Jackson, of Detroit, Mich.

Howard, Beaten by Lincoln Revives to Maul Va. State 14 Timers' Squabble Mars Game in Capital as Lincoln Wins 21-20. Va. State Succumbs to Washington Quint, 29-16. WASHINGTON. — Howard University had its annual "timers" disagreement — here Wednesday night, as the Lincoln University cagers outclassed the Bison to win by a 21-20 score. The game, one of the hardest ever played between the two schools, found Lincoln holding a distinct advantage over the Colorado, scoring the floor, eight to three. But Howard made up in points on the fouls called against Lincoln by Referee Cupid. With apparently two seconds to play, and Lincoln leading, 21 to 19, Coach Bill Taylor of Lincoln, keeping time, scored the final for the end of the game. The Lincoln mentor insisted that the game had already gone one minute over the regular time, while the Howward man said that two seconds remained. During the argument that followed, the rushed out on the floor and milled abut the timer's table. President Mordeckal Johnson of Howard, and Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the board of Athletic Control, were seated new to the table, and were surprised by the throng of excited collegians. Give Howard Point Referee Cupid agreed with the Howard timer that two seconds remained and called a technical foot on the ball. The ball was made of the floor made it impossible for the players to resume play. The extra point was then awarded Howard, making the ball start hostilities started hostilities with a neat double-decker from near midfloor. This was quickly followed by a side shot by Avery of the Lions. Lincoln had the advantage at center field and made five field goals. At half time the score stood 12-8 with Lincoln in the lead. Howard made good on two field goals in the first half and four free throws. He made five field goals and two free throws for Lincoln. Hall Makes Fouls In the second half, Hall, the diminutive forward of Howard, was presented with eight free throw tries and a double-digit assist in the ard's best: showing was from the four line, to that place referee Cupid sent twenty-two men, Howard making thirteen of them. Howard took two minutes to play Howard was leading two points, then Sydnor of Lincoln who hadn't found the cords, got his first shot from center-side court. This was his first shot from center-side court. Sydnor which brought Lincoln the victory. Lions Guard Closely Lincoln's guarding in the early part of the first half so completely overwhelmed Howard that they seemed never able to get behind him as a midfielder up only three field goals during the entire game. Hall, Howard's left forward, shot 8 fouls out of 11 tries, and Taylor, who had 10 fouls, Woods and Beasley both had an opportunity to tie the score from the foul line when, like Taylor in the West Virginia game, they failed in the final moment.

Saints Succumb LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The Bison herd continued its rampage by crushing St. Paul on Saturday in the game of 29-21.

The game was about the fastest one seen here this season, and the Lincoln had surely deserve credit for the sterling game they played, since the coming of the mighty Renaissance losers have the Lichtman players had so much trouble on their hands.

Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON THOSE few warm days that we had, set the fans to talking baseball, and the matter of an organized league in the East came in for its usual share of discussion. The prevailing opinion was that there would be no organized bail this year. From where this writer sat, he heard the league press of last year and the various club owners, roasted for Everything was wrong and nothing was right. Sentiment was strongly in favor of seeing clubs in Raleigh, Norfolk and Washington, and possibly some Jersey clubs rather than Atlantic City. Teams in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, with the Cuban Stars as a road marshalized for an eight-club league. And let me tell you, that if you want to hear baseball discussed, drop in on one of the stove leagues and hear what the boys have to say. For, in the language of Bert Williams, "they miss nobody. While this pillar is just as impatient as some of the players, to see some action in this sector, it makes the same prediction that it made last year, when the assistant was made that what was worked out was on the table. needed most of the time. You can't rule with an iron hand if there is no iron on the table. Last year some of the clubs went through the season without posting as much as $50. Can you imagine such a condition in the majors? Certainly you can't. Yet, year after year, the boys try to have a disciplined organization, when they haven't the slightest worry that will make for authority. semblance of it. With an eight-club loop, each club should post not less than $500, as an evidence of good faith. Any manager who can't afford to post that amount shouldn't be monkeying around with a baseball club. That's how I feel about it. Then, when there are infractions of league and club rules, the proper fines may be assessed and order issued. The Eastern region is really more suitable for organized ball than the West, yet it itags behind that section in all respects sider the short, jumpy balls that are used from Birch to St. Louis or from St. Louis to Detroit. Yet, the boys out there play weekly ball, and while they don't need a truck to haul away the profits at the end of the season, they find themselves in a happier frame of mind at the close of the season than do their Easy. Money can be made in Eastern baseball if the game is run properly. Someone is needed to head the circuit who can give more time to personal contact in the promotion of the affairs of the organization. Please don't suggest me for the post, as I have neither the time nor the money. G WHEN I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to find a youngster beaming at me. Neither of us spoke, but as studied his counterpart, he was now a man with wide fans after last year with his sensational display of pugilistic skill in his fights at the New Albert Auditorium. But he is not Jackie Sorrell any longer. A short stay in New York has changed his life, and now Peter Jackson, fighting for Gene Flaherty, white, metropolitan promoter. The youngster went to New York some time ago, and starting in amateur bouts, has worked his way to recognition as a semi-final fighter. Ten knockouts and several decisions, stand to the credit of young Sorrell, and those in the know have already marked him as a Sorrell has kayeded such youngsters as Tom Benedetto, Tom Cafew, Lew Myers and Mickey Doyle and has won decisions over Joe Sicilari, Serafino Troisi, and Emie Balot. He is anxious to show here in a main attraction, so that his host of followers can see what progress he has made since going into the sport in a big way. In all of his fights, Sorrell has lost one decision, and that one to Joe Jenkins after six furious rounds. His climb up the fiscial ladder will be watched with interest by local fans. IN ONLY ONE game of the current basketball season have two officials been used here, yet fans and managers alike, below whenever an official is called or renders, what they must unjust decision. Time after time decisions have been booed and the official razed because he neglected to call, what the fans saw as a foul. It is impossible for one man to cover a basketball court, particularly when two rather evenly matched teams are playing. Some player is going to shoot while this foot is in the air, and while the officials back is turned. And while the use of a second man is not going to insure the calling of every infraction, it will certainly serve to increase the efficiency of the officiating. Squawk after squawk is heard, yet no action is taken toward improving the game by hiring an extra official. It is imperative that two men be used, else it is useless for teams to get sure and fail to hire one referee because he rendered a decision with which they Local games have been unusually rough this season, from 25 to 35 fouls being called in some of the games. Some of these fouls called should not have been called, while others that were missed, should have been called. Some of the fouls that along the way hold that holding" turns to see two players close together, and calls a foul, possibly on the wrong man. The use of a second official would minimize such a condition. No, there is no unemployed official prompting this suggestion. It comes again, because this pillar becomes disgusted when the men responsible for the selection of officials cry murder because an official does not agree with the rules. The second official should be able to cover the smaller territory twice as efficiently. Games have been delayed and there have been some unpleasant endings because of the failure of teams to insist upon the use of two men. And while on this matter of efficiency, this Corona careser urges that the timers use a whistle or a different sound from the one used in a game or bell would be even better. There was an argument during one Athenian-Pereless game when the referee failed to hear the timers' whistle and some of the players did. As a result, an Athenian player, in possession of the ball, made a basket, while Pereless players, who could have stopped him, ceased play, thinking that the referee's whistle had killed the ball. This unfortunate circumstance should not occur again and neither should timers expect to keep time accurately without a stop watch. BECAUSE he is a Negro, and in addition is the best player on the Columbia University squad. George Gregory found himself the object of a vicious physical attack by white Manhattan College basketball players last week. Gregory, All-American center last year, was set-up by three white opponents who struck him and kicked him during the game, which was unsuccessful. So incensed were his schoolmates that he was with difficulty that they were quieted after a free-for-all fight among fans, following Manhattan College is a small Catholic school in New York, and schedules only basketball games with Columbia. Cancellation of athletic competition between that school and Columbia is expected. Southern influence, combined with the hoggish design upon in everything, is responsible for the unwarranted attack upon the race. Why was it that no white player on the Columbia squad was struck? You know the answer. To carn a place on the Columbia squad, Gregory had to be practically twice as good as any of the Nordic aspirants for the position. Considering that are airy slouches, you can see how poor the basketball he has to play. His white opponents don't stand the sight of a bronzed basketer outcla- them. It happens in other spheres also. Such a display of poor sportsmanship can be condoned by no fair-minded group of sportsmen. It is cowardly and low. And the time has come when institutions, such as Columbia, are not going to stand idly by and see a dark-skinned athlete maltreated. It was an honor for Manhattan to be the first to get the chance to play against a player of Gregory's type. Columbia should see to it that they are no longer accorded such an honor. Rocky Mt.

The victory boosted the Seasiders chances to repeat their CLL championship, since Lincoln rated their most formidable player.

Between Taylor and McGown the goals were locked and the time whistle sounded on a Lincoln Tries Subs Sydnor. DeCosta and Ridley came back at the beginning of the trip and began a speedy attack with the quarter. An unfortunate foot in Cotton brought not only the throw but a venereal basket; and the Hampton tally mounted to his Coach Taylor made another dash toward the foul. Alexander with a clever eluded the vigilant Ridley and cut his favorite shot beneath the basket. Alexander no longer in staring another passing attack but Cotton snatched a pass, firing it to Alexander who let fly.

Knoxville Wins Two from Livingstone "5" KNOXVILLE, Tem. — Continuing their march toward a Southern championship, the Knoxville College cagers smothered the Livingstone game, 11-10, and 53-15 here Friday and Saturday. The Knoxville quintet moved with machine-like precision through both games with unusual team-work and completely covered their less experienced players.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 15, 1930 Godfrey Refused to Stall, so Schmeling Bout is Off "Gawge" Says German's Manager Made Offer of $150,000 to "Sell Out." WANTS CARNERA Lack of Action Telling on "Big Truck." By BILL GIBSON "So I told him he could keep his old $150,000, and that ended it." And then Big George Godfrey opened that big mouth of his and just grinned. Here was a man who just wouldn't allow himself to get mad. Godfrey's reference to the coin of the realm, he informed, was none other than a reflection of his at-talent, the German heavyweight contender to "lay down" in a fight with the big Teuton. Schmeling, Godfrey alleges, offered him the sum of $150,000 to "lay dead" in an Atlantic City ring. Max Ducked "Man, I wanted to fight that bird," Big George chortled. "I wanted to fight him so bad that I could taste out of the gate and a flat $75,000 guarantee, if he would just let me get in that ring and be myself wifh him. But he shook his head on that proposition. I offered to fight him killing, but it was the same answer." Asked how he would like to meet Primo Carrera, the big muscle and brawny man, to take any of them babies on at any time. Carrera can stop looking for a man to meet right now, because here I am. The manager Bill Owens managed to get a fight with Primo and George can’t puzzle many fans. This writer believes, however, that the reason is that God wouldn’t risk his life in a purse to put on the gloves with the Italian behemoth. With Schmeling, however, it was a different story. LIVINGSTONE, N.C.—The Livingstone girls' basketball team proved too much for the Winston Salem Y.W.C.A. tossers, by defeating them to the tune of 37-3. Thursday. Friday the team travelled to Lynchburg, Va., where they were successful in defeating Virginia Seminary by the score of 13-4. The game started off a nip and tuck affair but soon the girls from Salsbury jumped into the lead and were never again threatened. Corrothers, Craver and Clement stood out for the lassies wearing the Black and Blue. latter first set foot on American shores. He posed for a picture with him that same day. But since Carrera has been here he has made his rounds of the set-ups, most of his opponents lasting about one round. Italian Sidesteps George Because of Carrera's penchant for set-ups a Philadelphia writer says: "As a matter of fact, there is just one man in the ring today physically equipped to CONTEST with Carrera. We refer to George Godfrey, the gigantic Negro who is managed by Jimmy Dougherty. Godfrey may be an inch or so shorter than the Italian and at fighting weight a few pounds lighter, but he would more than neutralize these physical handicaps by his superior boxing skill. "Promoters, however, have not even made a gesture toward matching these two — not because they would not like to stage such a natural, but because they know that the wise men managing Carrera are often though it were extended to them on a golden platter studded with diamonds. "One can scarcely blame them at that, for it seems to be the consensus that if the wraps were off Godfrey, Primo would probably not be among those present after a couple of years." "Very well. If not Godfrey, who not one of the other giants, you can kill him," she Clark another warrior of color who towers well over six feet and weighs about 230 to 235. Furthermore, he now knows that the world is anybody he heard it said that Ace doesn't care to 'take it'. Perhaps Carnera is another who will kill him. "The world is anybody to know until the Lath is matched with somebody who will hit him?" Loafs Around Meanwhile, Godfrey loafs around his Leiperville gym awhile, and when he gets home, he goes to some small city or town to relax and forget about it—maybe to stage a play, or his own. But one thing is certain—he didn't get the $150,000. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.- The Tuskegee girls, in their fourth start of the season, defeated the crack Alabama State Teachers College team in the Colls P.

The Bordentown Cubs after three extra periods, 20-18. The victory of the girls was especially sweet since the only defast of last season was suffered at the hands of the Bordentown girls. Sarah Lattimore and Ernie Robinson were high on Smile 15 and 10 points, respectively. Boys' Battle Close Field goals were at a premium in the night-cap between the boys. At the end of the regulation four periods, the score was 16-15. The first extra period brought the score to 16-16. In the second there was no scoring. Finally, in the third overtime before the home team came up, the Cubs and bring the count to 20-18. Seminary Dragons Devour Smith Bulls LYNCHBURG, Va. — Playing on their home court for the first time this season, "Ted" Thompson Va. Seminary Dragons scored a victory over the Bulls, 29-25. The game started off slowly, but as it progressed, the game became last and Smith led at the end of the first half, 1:55. The second half found the Dragonous settled down and scoring from all angles of the court. A sensational half caused the downfall of Smith. Captain White again led his team in scoring 10 points, followed by French with 9 points. Captain Avant, Tucker and Christian played well for the visit. EDWARDS LOSES AGAIN NEWARK.

Sweet revenge for their loss of an early season game to the Coppin Normal cagers came to the Douglass High school tossers, Friday, as they scored a 30-28 triumph over the local pedagogues. While at no time was Coppin in the lead, the blue and white tossers were a constant threat, hanging on, two or three points behind the winners. Coppin's total was greatly increased by the foul shooting activity, the marshal of the squad, no less than 12 points coming from the charity mark, while the Ducks accounted for only four free throws. Dyson Flashes Mel Dyson, diminutive Douglass jumping-jack, lived up to his title as a markssman, by again leading the way in points, scoring six field goals and one free throw, almost half the points scored by his team. Roberts, Coppin, guard, staged a duel with Dyson in an endeavor to stiff his point-getting activities, but was unable to hold him in check. At the end of the first quarter, Douglass was leading, 7-4, and by half time the Ducks had eased away to a 16-19 lead. Rawlings, playing most of the game in forward, proved a worthy running mate for Dyson, caging four baskets and one foul. A rally, in which Noel and Watts featured closed up the gap between the two teams, giving Coppin 16 points at the end of the third period, while the Ducks could boast only of 18. The Coppin stands were on edge, because they remembered their first game with Douglass when a string of Douglass substitutes entered the game and found themselves outplayed. Play is Close Coach Gibson opened up his bag of tricks in the final frame, however, shifting Rawlings from center back his position as forward as Simms, the Ducks's bulky center re-entered the game.

Savannah, Georgia BROWN'S TITLE SAFE NEW YORK. -- Al Brown retained his title as world's bantam winner on a foul in the fourth round of a scheduled 15-round bout from Johnny Erickson. white challenger to the Olympia A.C. Saturday night. Brown was the aggressor and handily outclassed in the second fight Johnn Canzonner in a 10-rounder at Allentown, Pa., February 19. Brown scored a 10-foot, stable, scored a decision over Routier Parra in eight rounds. cutting down the Douglass lead to two points. Rawlings caged a freak basket from near mid-court, only to have Noel match him with a doubledecked. A foul shot by Roberts of Coppin, brought the score to 21-20, when Dyess cutting for the basket from mid-court, received a well-timed pass from Simms, to sink a goal unnoticed. Chink Wyatt had an opportunity to put his team in the running, but was wild on two free throws. Watts, however, made up for it by setting the ball in the bucket for a deuce spot. Simms of Douglass, made a clean follow-up shot, leaping into the air to tap into the basket, and the Duck roots screamed. Henson Gives Scare Roberts caged a mid-court shot for Coppin and Rawlings countered with a similar one for Douglass. With one and one half minutes to play the battle raged, reaching its height when Henson, a Coppin sub, entered the game and scored three points. But these were not enough to shut the door of victory in the face of the never-say-die Douglass outfit. Sterling defensive play of Dorsey and Barber cut off many Coppin tallies, while the floor work of Noel and Watts served to keep the Normalties geared at ton speed throughout the contest. MEN!!

Nowadays this is considered sufficient, though it is the minimum, and added to the standard with only this strength should never proceed further in the bidding. Again, if you pass initially with this holding and a No Trump is bid by the opponent on your left follow it to two passes, the dealer is poiled to be questioned without having given his partner an indicating lead and an idea of the strength of his hand. It is reasonable to expect that a person that passes up an opportunity to bid ones cannot fail two on the table round. With this holding against a No Trump bid the holder is practically assured of four tricks in that suit providing that neither of his opponents hold more cards of the suit. To secure this you must permit the first round of the suit to go to the adversaries. Here is an example. Spades Q-J-10 Spades N W-E S Spades 7-4 Spades 3-8 With the indicating lead given by South the dealer, his partner, North, would lead the 4 of Spades to which South would play the deuce. West winning with the Queen. On the next round of Spades South would lead the Spades to return the Lead with his Ace and then proceed to turn two tricks with the 6 and 3. The lead of the Ace of Spades would pick up all adverse Spades you will see. By passing the first round South established his Spades suit and was able to make mistakes. If he had taken out on the first round he would have only taken two. You can see that an initial bid of one with this holding, even though it is the minimum, is justifiable, for even if the strength of the offer is low, the establishing of the suit will oftimes save game for the defenders. Anyways if your partner has nothing, this bid can cost nothing, for with the opponents holding the strength of the offer, you could easily enough to bid it, and double you. Then again an initial bid of one with this holding is not only beneficial on the defense t is very valuable on the offensive. It gives the partner the advantage that the game producing bid, from a hand without the information conveyed by the one-bid, would have been too weak for anything but a pass. Supposing the hands held were S 9-7-8 H A-Q-7 D 9-7-5 C A-J-9 3rd hand S 10-8-4 H K-8-5 D A-Q C 10-8-5 N W—E R S Q-J H 10-5-4 D K-J-8 C K-Q-7 Dealer S A-K-5-3 H 5-9 D 10-4-3 C 3-2 If Dealer bid one Spade his partner, 3rd hand, will bid one No Trump, and would be able to make. Dealer uses the deck passed out as second hand is not strong enough to bid initially, and 3rd and 4th hands are not strong enough to bid on their pass. What has gone before is the minimum strength required for an initial suit bid of one, without any side strength. And, if you fail to have the strength specified, no matter God, Whotsa Peanut?

P.'s Warned Last Year Commissioner Boney warned the Pythian Endowment Department to levy extra assessments sufficient to impale expended death claims and eliminate death claims in a letter dated September 30, 1929. W. S. Scales, state grand chancellor, sent out special assessments immediately, but failed to raise the needed amounts. On October 11, 1929, the North Carolina state grand lodge was suspended by Supreme Chancellor. S. W. Green, of the national body, for failure to pay $3,535.75 emergency taxes and to borrow money to cause. Boney Interferes Commissioner Boney refused the state Pythians permission to pay this tax out of endowment funds or to borrow money to cause. Scales's Report Scales issued a report in self-defense showing that the state body had paid the national organization $7,535.75 in this went towards erecting the $1,000,000 K. of P. Temple in Chicago which was threatened with receivership last year by a contracting firm. When the cornerstone was last August, the committee estimated at two millions and surplus at a million and a half. Erection of this small revenue producing building as a national temple caused a levy of sepecial taxes and an increase in the state's grand lodge which has declined to pay. Virginia is alleged to be $15.00 in arrears. Georgia K. P.'s took a $10,000 national assessment by national body to the courts in 1827. A battle over a receiver for Alabama. Fulhams started, in July 1928. bama Pythians started in July 1928. "The situation is simply this," said Scales, "we paid $40,000 due in death claims when I became chancellor and we paid $20,000 claims which due later. But when the Supreme Lodge placed the tax on us and then suspended us because we refused to pay the tax, the action created unrest among the 4,000 members of the order in North Carolina and Maryland, and stopped paying premiums to the endowment department and we soon began to fall behind in payment of the death claims." **Injection Dissolved** An injunction by the national Pythian body from reorganizing and reinstating the North Carolina grand lodge was dissolved February 3. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green immediately announced weeping February 22, at the Sunders Hall; Charlotte, for reorganization. By R. W. TALIAFERRO Your initial hid of one tells your partner of the possibility of you being able to make four tricks if your bid stands but if it doesn't stand you will be able to turn two quick tricks at least.

He says: "Job stands out in history as a man who suffered a great deal. In the 18th century he came to 'comfort him'. These comforters have become proverbial because what they did was to rub salt into the wounds. They put forth are very popular today and are looked upon by many as being new. The goodness of God is questioned and the difficulties that arise in connection with suffering come in every day life are spoken of as though God were responsible.

Whites With One Drop of Negro Blood will be Colored RICHMOND, Va. — The Ball racial integrity bill which defines anyone with a drop of Negro blood as a colored person, was advanced in th Senate this week and seems certain of becoming a law. One proposal added to the bill that each member of the Pamunkey and Mattapo Indian tribes as are more than one-fourth Indian and less than one-sixteenth Negro shall be deemed "Tribal Indians" as long as they remain on their reservations. The chief purpose of the Ball bill is to change such conditions as are revealed in Essex County where white people with about ten percent of blood are attending white schools. The fear has been expressed that these slightly colored "whites" will be attending the institutions of higher learning in Virginia in a few Under the existing law in Virginia a white person must have one-sixteenth colored blood before he is deemed "colored."

RELIGION NOT READY FOR RACE PROBLEMS Christianity Not Able to Preach Fatherhood of God, Says Dr. White. RACE RELATIONS DAY Movement Inspired by Various Motives, He Says. "Twentieth Century Christianity is not ready and able to preach the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man among races, even with the Negro eliminated." declared the Rev. E. W. White, pastor, in a sermon on Race Relations Day at Providence Baptist Church in Philadelphia, the Jews, the Slavs, the Italians, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Mexican and other foreigners, the race problem is becoming more complex each day, he said and with the Negro not even considered, there is a race problem the hands of the Italians, the white man with his superiority complex that he hardly knows what to do Various Motives Tracing the history of Race Relations Day, the Rev. Mr. White declared that while it was instituted by the Federal Council, the institution it had various motivating purposes. The idea he said, was perhaps borrowed from the interracial movement in the South. The exodus of the Negro, the speaker pointed out, so "the Negro was not a race of conditions, North and South that it was hardly possible to adjust things. It brought about profound social disturbances with the resurrection of the Ku Klux Klan to intimidate soldiers back fresh from the front that had become sensitive and justly so. "The white man also was sensitive. He felt that the Negro had a just claim and that any movement made might not the black man on equality with him, not only industrially but Race Hatred "With race hatred raised by leaps and bounds, a group of white-men met in Atlanta to allay this rising temperature." "She whitened," said Rev. Mr. White, "who saw a vision of all the races of the world joining forces against the Anglo-Saxon; and, considering the seriousness of the consequences of this growing tendency, "There were other white people in this movement who took no such broad view, but who were motivated only by selfish interests when they saw the products of the group. Suspicion "There were some colored leaders who had with suspicion on the movement, mainly because of the selfish group in it," he said. "It is not concerned so much about social equality, but he is terribly disturbed about industrial, civic and economic conditions. He is as justice the leader. He wants and justice for justice and the right to be unharmed in his onward march in the procession of civilization. "He bases his claim upon his citizenship, which he calls the government even if it seems to have a smack of social equality or seems to trample upon bed-ridden custom and tradition. But that true relation will get a better hearzi and that Raca Relations Day may be the means of bringing about a better feeling." PLEASANTVILLE, N.J.—Allen's day was observed at St. Paul's A.M.E.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 15, 1930 NEW YORK. (ANP)—In a series of articles appearing daily, the local Heart newspaper, rival of the Daily News, blames most of the crimes in New York on what they call the 'Tax-dance' where dance halls where girls are engaged to furnish partners for men coming alone. Few men attending these places bring their partners with them. Each girl is supposed to dance with any man who purchases tickets at a given price. Of dance girls we paid a com-mon on the number of tickets they turn in. Blaming these places for most of the crimes, the Mirror cities a number of instances where colored members of the police were caught while, and take them out. A glaring instance of this was a recent murder case which involved one of the greatest colored comedians, the greatest place in a home and for him. One hall, according to the paper, held out various offers, one of them being a regular night for certain groups; the West Indian group at the center, the African element another night, and so on down the line for the whole week.

(ANP)—“We get what we go after IF we go after it to get it.” The truth of the foregoing statement, which was impressed upon Chicagoans for several weeks, was fully demonstrated here last week when the $3,000,000 campaign was closed in a blaze of glory at the Savoy ballroom, $212,000 over the mark. The goal was reached Friday a week ago, when two public-spirited Chicagoans who gave the present to the campaign Europe capped gifts amounting to $270,000. Of this amount $22,000 was given by Julius Rosenwald, who has done so much to help Negroes help themselves, and fifty thousand was sent by Mrs. Helen Swift Nielson. The fact that the goal had been attained was expected to put a damper on the ardor of the Southside citizens, whose $200,000 drive was to end the following Monday night. The grand total on Friday evening was more than $204,000. With the close of the drive, the slogan "Germs draw no color line" was changed to "Friendship draws color line." This slogan had its origin in the much-used statement that the putting over of this drive, the face of great difficulties did more to bring about a better feeling between the races than anything in recent years.

CHICAGO. (ANP)—After a series of delays and continuances, the trial of Ira Johnson, Moses Jackson, and Eugene Jackson, members of the Moorish Science Temple of America, for the murder of policemen Jesse Hults and William Gallagher, white, was nearly completed this week with indications that it would be difficult for the state to make its case against the men stand up. One of the most active lawyers for the defense has been Howard D. Jeter under whose theory of self-defense the defendants are seeking to justify the killings The white policewomen were killed last fall when they, with other members of a squad, sought to break into an apartment at Forty-first and South Parkway, where they had been led to believe that a kidnapped member of the cult was concealed. The apartment is part of a building containing nearly a hundred other apartments and pandemonium broke 1000s throughout when the police are so scared that a pitched battle which resulted in the death of one of the cult members and two of the policewomen. 1000 Cops on Duty Within six hours one thousand policemen had been placed within an area of a few blocks to prevent, further trouble. Johnson was arrested and charged as the one who did the actual shooting. The state introduced a statement signed by the troopers, which he admitted firing the gun. But the defense has objected that Johnson only signed the statement after being beaten by the police. As a result, the state has subpoenaed the coroner's counsel Herman Bundeson to learn if Johnson showed any signs of beating at that time. Father and Son Two of the defendants, Moses and Eugene Jackson, are father and son. A former Christian who was converted to Mohammedanism, Compton Johnson and Edward Mealy, secured severances, and it is the belief that they will be released because of alliance discussions about the time of the shooting. Cult Started in Norfolk Extra guards were placed around the courtroom to prevent violence as the trial opened. The cultists, all Negroes, have been persuaded to believe that they are direct descendants of the Moors. They adhere to the coranism of the Moors and conceive near-fanatics in their beliefs. The order was founded by one John Drew, a colored man, who came to be known as Noble Drew Al. He The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly was at one time an attendant for an east Indian fakir. He suddenly used his tricks to use: some himself and began to use the Temple cult in North Va. The existence of the cut in this city has been marked by scenes of violence and charges of scandal, including murder. Drew died last year General Field of Welfare Work to be Covered in Open Discussions. DR JOHNSON TO SPEAK Howard Prexy and W. C. Jackson to Give Addresses.

BAD EYES, EARS, TEETH RETARD SCHOOL WORK Some Defects Found Behind Every Instance, Says Dr. Cramer. PREVENTION CITED Correct Daily Brushing and Balanced Diet Necessary. Backward tendencies in a large number of parochial and public school children, as shown by a recent survey, is attributed to defective eyes, ears, teeth, Dr. Morris Cramer, a superintendent in school dental clinics of the health department, declares. "Surveys of this kind have dislociated the fact that in nearly every instance in which a child is behind in school work, there is also some physical defect of the eyes, ears, or mouth that bad teeth are found more often than poor eyesight or poor hearing. "When you consider: the close relation of the teeth to digestion and therefore to health and vigor. Your presence of decaved or infected teeth is the underlying cause of much of the illness in both adults and children. Of all diseases of childhood, decaved is the most prevalent and is largely preventable. It will be recalled that of the 88,302 children examined during the survey, 20,000 had badly infected teeth, 10,000 had severely infected which should be corrected at once. Of the children examined, 60 per cent were found to have defective teeth. To prevent Dr. Crane states: "The routine daily practice of correct brushing of the teeth together with a well balanced diet, and the use of dentists will assist wills will overcome in a great measure, the faulty conditions existing in the mouth."
